The MTV VMAs aren’t exactly known for being the classiest of affairs, so they enlisted the help of British photographer Amanda de Cadenet to take these cool backstage portraits of performers, presenters and winners at last night’s ceremony with the backdrop of a vintage-looking American flag. Hell, if you can make even Miley Cyrus looking something resembling sophisticated, then I’d say you’re doing something right. So here’s a sampling of the portraits accumulated by both de Cadenet and MTV, completely sans of boobs, butts or drug paraphernalia. Enjoy.
Here’s de Cadenet, herself:
