Question:

But I was wondering what everyone thinks of the Miley Cyrus topless thing on Vanity fair!.
I am a long time lover of Annie Lieobitz's art, and I don't think this shot was excessively sexy, however it did turn heads and as professional, it is my opinion that Liebovit knew precisely what she was doing when she posed Cyrus for this shot!.
What about other photographers, such as Bill Henson and shall we not forget the photographs starring a 6 year old Olympia Nelson!?

I think Bill Henson can sometimes go too far and Polixeni Papapetrou (Olympia's mother) went so far overboard the sharks got to her!. - I also think what Robert Nelson (Olympia's father and apparent art critic) said, in defense was a load of bollocks!.

In my opinion it was just a publicity stunt for both Miley Cyrus and Annie Lieobitz and it worked to perfection!. Annie Lieobitz was once a well respected photographer when she was with Rolling Stone but after selling out and going to Vanity Fair her work has become just the standard lame celebrity photos!. Miley Cyrus is looking ahead to a career as an adult when she no longer appeals to the tweens and was looking for a sort of crossover opportunity!. They both had plenty to gain by the photos and the publicity they received, ironically from a photographic standpoint the pictures themselves weren't even very good!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
