Photographer Reacts to WILD America's Next Top Model releasing BEES on the models

[@FlorenceDays]

I mean, it's kinda silly because the whole point of the photoshoot is to sell the jewelry, and you can't even see it because it's covered in bees. And in Hannah's pic, you can't even see the crown because it's cropped. what?

Yeah I love how they fail to mention what their logic is for thinking bees would make anybody more inclined to buy jewelry. I would have been asking questions about that and caused them to sabotage me like they do with every girl that they don't want to win. I noticed that through the whole series they pretty consistently do photo shoots for advertising that makes absolutely no sense and they don't try to explain what they're logic is. They almost certainly do it to train the girls to be completely compliant and not question what's asked of them but it sure is cringey to watch...

Also, even if the bees weren't covering the jewelry, it seems like it would detract from the ad's intended purpose. To sell a certain product.

I've seen an episode of ANTM in which Tyra had a private chat with each of the girls and among other things she asked them about their fears and then there was an individualised photo shoot with the topic of their phobias for each one of them. and the crew was like "as professional models you will have to be in situations you are uncomfortable with, blah blah" It made me so angry, as I am passionate about mental health and this is not how you help anyone, this is just further traumatising these girls. this is not even about show biz anymore. this is just straight up cruelty and showing off your power.

Why are so many people here so utterly clueless about bees?? Bees aren't hard to calm and they rarely just randomly sting for no reason. Realistically the girls could move around pretty freely and be in very very minimal danger. Also, as they pointedly mentioned, they used pheromones on the jewelry. Pheromones change the way bees behave. Essentially they not only attracted the bees to land on the girls but also made them feel as though they were in a hive surrounded by other bees. Pheromones mean home and comfort for them, which is why bees will build hives in places where hives previously existed and were removed. The pheromones linger and since their purpose is serving as an attractant bees will go to those places. Those bees could not have cared less that they were around humans.

Models can even refuse things outside of that, no nude photoshoots, don't work with certain concepts that might clash with something like their religious beliefs, its why the client would need to discuss what the concept is/what they want beforehand.

The model who was crying literally played Dez's girlfriend on Austin and Ally oml

Wait a minute she did?

I thought dez went out with trish

[@kayascocchio8178]

I was like..wait..i know her

[@ClaudetteVioletta]

I think Austin and Ally did a reference to Antm

[@willholston6688]

The lighting and post on this shoot is so much better than normal because this and the season before were the "high fashion" cycles. They were working with Vogue Italia, so the show had to try a little harder.

[@SparklesNJazz]

why do ANTM photos always look so bad lmao. they look out of focus, overexposed, and cropped weird. is it just me?? maybe it's just the video quality but...

[@kahmariirenee631]

YES! The editing it is always so horrible🤦🏽‍♀️

[@enriwhat2294]

I would love to see a show where it’s about the photographer. America’s next top photographer? Just hearing you give great feedback to the people in charge of the actual final product was amazing. Also seeing your content with different camera qualities and photographers I think there’s something there to make a show out of!

[@tidalwaved]

There was a show called " The Shot" that was similar to antm in like 2007. Not sure where you could watch it though.

[@kamilareeder1493]

Facts 😂 imagine you see 10 photographers tryna hike a mountain with their cameras to take nature shots at the top

[@cc_namaste]

I love how Jessica is like a self esteem justice warrior in these videos

[@extinctbaryonyx]

I personally think with this type of photoshoot and lighting, a snake would be more amazing than bees like they did in cycle 1.

[@Tink00]

"That's why you signed the waivers" could've been the ANTM tagline

Jessica is one of the photographers that have inspired me to continue doing photography

“Lisa!!! You know that cereal!!!” 😂

[@TheSwordbird98sPage]

this show is more to put the models in a headspace where they don’t think they can say no while working instead of for the photos. it’s really gross

[@AnaFox]

You're so hilarious. I could watch you react to any show. Those poor bees, man.

[@alifeeney572]

I used to love this show when I was a kid and I’m shocked at how manipulative and mean this show is 😬😬😬

[@oneilthompson5843]

This is the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard. I just want to retouch all those bees. What a stupid concept. Time for this show to go to sleep. And Tyra go sit somewhere 🤦🏽‍♂️ This show now is giving the industry a bad look. I wouldn’t say those things to my models

[@sierram9573]

I truly believe the sole purpose of the live bees was to shake the models up and make them “work through the fear.” Because “this is what modeling is”

[@justarandomgirl7691]

Jessica’s comments have me dying hahahha

[@ashtrik3798]

Your videos are where I come when I can’t take the reality of this world anymore. Seriously if I didn’t have an escape I would actually die. Thank you for posting and having fun and just being silly and helping me be silly with you.

[@mickystreitames31]

I'm so allergic to bees, and while I know bees don't sting unprovoked this is wildly dangerous for me

[@kamilareeder1493]

I'd say though, these bees are being extremely tolerant ✋💀☝️ like im suprised they weren't angry and swarming around.

[@olafadu6066]

And I noticed d girls from Asia’s next top model even if Dey don’t win dey go on to b great models but those from America just don’t get jobs

[@mirlambda]

As someone who works with animals (like, I have a MSc in conservation bio) I think it's fine to do photo shoots like these with animals AS LONG AS: 1. Everyone involved is comfortable being around those animals and the animals are well trained, so that no people or animals are at risk of being hurt. 2. They don't use dangerous exotic animals. So like... chill snakes, bees, dogs, etc.? I think that's fine. Animals like tigers that have a history of killing people even when "tamed"? Cheetahs, which get really nervous about everything? Not a great idea. I think basically... if it's an animal that's typically cared for using protected contact when they're in captivity (ie. there's always a barrier between the person and the animal) you really shouldn't be using them in photo shoots.

[@novaflores6512]

people are deadly allergic to bees and if one accidentally stung someone they could die or have a severe reaction. saw my mom almost die bc of a bee sting. has nothing to do with being "well trained"

[@mirlambda]

@@novaflores6512 I also said everyone involved needs to consent to being in the photo shoot, obviously people who are allergic (or don't know if they're allergic) shouldn't be involved in a photo shoot with bees? In the case of this ANTM photo shoot, they also said they were using pheromones, which means the bees were probably swarming and very unlikely to sting in the first place.

[@ericaoren4799]

@@mirlambda how can the animals consent to being in the photoshoot?

[@mirlambda]

@@ericaoren4799 I mean, if you wanna go down that route, how can babies consent to being in a photo shoot? For real though, if the handlers are doing their job right and using only positive reinforcement, you can't really make an animal do something if they don't want to. I work at a conservation org that does animal shows, and if an animal doesn't want to perform or seems stressed in any way, the handlers just... don't make them do the show. I'm not saying all animal handlers are like that, I'm not that naive, but all animal handlers SHOULD be like that.

[@indianaajoness]

Why are cheetahs so nervous? Are they also dangerous like lions are?

[@Flaca2585]

I bet you Tyra has never did a photoshoot as extreme as what she puts these models through. I love all these videos you do and your commentary about America’s next top model always gets me laughing. And just to think this show wasn’t shot very long ago and it’s so cringe worthy.

[@grettarulestheworld302]

That "plus sized model" was so smol and cute oml

[@hs-zd4ch]

I actually really like the photo with her eyes closed, it looks peaceful and ethereal to me.

[@Jamiesaurus_Art]

I just discovered your channel and can't stop watching now. Love the content you're the sweetest and kindest to these poor models. Your insight made me realize how this show was just Tyra reenacting her Trauma and mistreatment in the industry on other models. A classic abused turned abuser type relationship. Tyra probably was told because of the time she started modeling, a lot of those things about doing whatever she is told and work when you're uncomfortable "or else" and that she had to maintain a positive and agreeable demeanor all the time. So she went to the extreme and forced these girls to endure the same.

[@ivanananananana]

[@ishwarilaughing6256]

I just read (listened to) Size Zero by Victoire Dauxerre who was a runway model for a few years and it was really enlightening on the culture behind the scenes and why the models were so against one another. I highly recommend it to get an understanding of what they go through and how it affects them and there behaviour in turn. 😊❤️

[@kajhalkasraei2796]

They put these girls in realy uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous situations and then say that " they weren't comfortable in their own skin " like wath do you expect ?

[@Morgan_le_they]

I’m sure the producers tell them to be catty. It makes for better TV than if they were all nice and supportive, and ANTM has been about drama since it started. If it wasn’t, they wouldn’t have shoots like the racial switch one

[@lifeofmermaidlelie]

Probably, but then again, the fab 5 are super popular because they feel like a warm hug.

[@eileenconway2966]

I swear, one of them could’ve had a severe allergic reaction and Tyra would’ve been like “one time I went into anaphylaxis, I was hospitalized and dying, and I STILL NAILED IT!”

[@paolatassinari9827]

The point of the bees is make them really afraid and uncomfortable and see how they work under that pressure. But it is still a horriful idea.

[@sophielauren7821]

I like it when they actually work with the model and act like a team, these photographers & editors did their jobs.

[@gloxx02]

the bees literally contributed nothing to the photos, they look so dull that you don't even know what they are until you look closer.

[@EzequielFerrari22]

A lot of these models have said that producers, during confessionals, asked them to say mean things about the other contestants, even tho they didn't feel that way. Also, some of their comments were picked up from other confessionals in order to make it seem like they're talking about something in particular, when they were actually talking about a different topic.

[@pallasitematrix1614]

I like the concept of the aesthetic; black, white, gold, and bees with a minimalist flair, but I feel like it would have been so much better with the bees as a motif instead of... actual bees.

[@my0.25lifecrisis]

I've watched like 5 of these videos every day for the past week, and I'm still getting recommended new ones?! Jessica, how many of these have you done??

Although the bees were a bit traumatizing for the girls, the pictures came out absolutely stunning imo. To date, it's my absolute favorite shoot.
