nude photo shoots, putting spiders on people's faces, and a runway that's dangling from a building. Those are only things America's Next Top Model could do and get away with. Today, I'm breaking down the top things they've done on America's Next Top Model that you could not do in real life. I've been photographing for 15 years now. I've worked with agencies such as Ford, Willamina, Next. I've photographed in places like Denmark, Switzerland, Paris, with different agencies. I've worked with different models from all around the world. So, I know how real shoots operate and what I see on America's Next Top Model, it would just never happen in the real world. But I don't know if people know that. That's the problem. Do people know? Do people know it's not normal to just put your models in the middle of an ocean with no training? Just do people know? I'm not sure. Today's video is sponsored by Squarespace. This first one I put first because of how important it is for people to know that you can't do this in real life. The nude photo shoots on America's Next Top Model. You cannot do this. I say this every if you watch my reaction videos, you'll know I keep repeating myself. You cannot surprise a model with a nude photo shoot the day of. Absolutely not. Do not do this if you are a photographer. This is not normal. And how they surprise the models with them. Oh, surprise. We're doing Yeah, we're doing nude. Yeah, you're going to be posing nude. Okay. And if you don't want to do it, it's going to affect your standing in the competition. — Yeah, Mr. J told that to a model, by the way. You nervous? — Yeah. — Why? What's the issue? Tell us. — I just can't pose in the nude. — You can't realize that it's going to affect your standing in the competition. That's all I could say. — This was a reoccurring photo shoot theme on the show. And sometimes they would have it in the beginning of the season to see who is compliant and who is not. Are you willing to pose nude even though you're uncomfortable? This goes against your values. Are you willing to do it? Do you want it badly enough? Some models have been shamed, kicked out, and eliminated for not doing these nude photo shoots on the show. In cycle 2, Anna Bradfield was kicked out by Judge Nigel Barker for refusing to pose nude for a photo shoot. — And it's going to be the same answer. So, — okay. Well, that being said, then I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask you to leave. I'm sorry. — And he thought that if I didn't want to be a part of it, then, you know, I shouldn't be in his presence whatsoever. — You know what? At this point, I just needed to go because we haven't got time. And it's a real shame she wasn't comfortable being nude under her makeup. — I will never forget this episode. I thought it was absolutely crazy that they're getting mad at this model for having boundaries, not being comfortable with this surprise nude photo shoot. She was kicked off for setting a boundary and sticking to it, which is kind of crazy if you think about it. Even in cycle seven, Ginger, who was 18 years old, was uncomfortable doing this nude photo shoot — because today you girls are going to be shooting nude. — We can do it. So, you're totally covered the whole time you're up there. — At first, Jinger couldn't do it, but we had talked to her and she finally made up her mind. — If you want a model to do a new photo shoot, you should get a model who is okay with that, who is comfortable with that. Why is it that the show normalized bringing in models and pressuring them to do these shoots when they're not comfortable with it? Also, if you're doing a photo shoot like this, knowing the photographer and feeling comfortable with them is very important. Whether it's nude, implied nude, bikini, lingerie, you need consent beforehand to be able to do a photo shoot like this in the real world. Agents would need to know and would need to make sure that's okay with the model. You would have to maybe sign an agreement on where these pictures would go. I mean, think about the fact that a lot of these girls on America's Next Top Model, they're doing these nude photo shoots. Some of them are 18 years old, by the way. 18 years old. Getting their picture taken by a photographer they just met. They don't know. Who knows where these pictures are going to end up and how long they will have them for, where they, you know, they don't know who's in control of these images of them that a lot of these girls are telling us they're uncomfortable with in the first place. Uh that's just to start just to begin like me as a photographer I wouldn't feel comfortable photographing someone if I know they don't want to do this photo shoot that would make me uncomfortable and also if the model is uncomfortable or doesn't want to do something it's going to show in the picture and you won't get a good picture. So, if you think about it from a business point of view, why would you hire a model that doesn't want to do like is uncomfortable doing a photo shoot for you? If you want the photo shoot to be successful, getting a model that's comfortable with your photo shoot concept, you're going to get better pictures. She's going to be more confident. In the real world, if a model shows up and someone's like, "Okay, we're doing nude today. " And they and the model didn't approve of it. She should leave 100%. The agency should be contacted. they would step in and say, "Hey, we did not agree to this. " The model should leave. Just get your agent on the phone. I've heard models do

### [5:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ifMNGr1zQk&t=300s) Segment 2 (05:00 - 10:00)

this where they're like, "I called my agent and they got me out of there. " So, they should be the ones to take care of that. The agents ask for things like mood boards, what the concept is going to be, hair, makeup, who's doing the styling, all of that. So, that information is usually provided to them prior to the photo shoot happening, even if it's a test shoot. And you also have to present to them your portfolio, your work. Nude photos cannot go in a model's portfolio. It doesn't benefit them in any way. So, if you are comfortable doing these types of photo shoots, go for it. If you're not, say no. In the real industry, there are some models who don't do nude photo shoots at all. They don't do implied nude. That's just not what they want to do. And they can still and you can still be a successful model and not have to do a photo shoot like that. And you could also be a successful model and do a photo shoot like that. So, it goes both ways. The next one are the dangerous and extreme photooots that were very unnecessary. Tell me why they're in the middle of the ocean underwater for and you why? Just tell me. Tell me why. Ain't nothing but a heartache. mistake. Okay, so America's Next Top Model frequently used dangerous setups, but they disguise them as challenges. And it's a photo shoot. Everyone be professional. Cycle six, they did a falling fairy tales photo shoot where the girls literally had to fall onto a mattress. Are you That's one step one fall away from breaking someone's neck to be honest with you. How none of the girls came out on a stretcher? I don't know. — I feel everything from that falling. As long as I got a good shot, you know, I can deal with the pain. — Ready? Three. Beautiful. — You could be liable as a photographer if something happens to your model on set. Just so you know, you got to have insurance for that type of stuff. Something happens, someone's hurt. Have you guys ever heard of safety? Ann was just a big flop. — Literally, she flopped. She scraped her chin. She scraped her elbows. She looks a mess. I tried to fly and I don't know if it worked or not. — She's got that face that that's Ann is bleeding a little bit. — What if a model falls in the wrong way? That's She breaks a bone or something. She hurts her neck or something happens. Who's liable for that? Is the show going to cover those expenses? There was the vertical runway challenge on cycle 20 which I thought was absolutely insane. The runway ends here, but it begins — up there. — I'm scared as hell. Like, who walks a runway on a building? I'm not sure I can do this. — One contestant, Nina Burns, lost control and was ended up dangling on the side of this building. — Oh my god. I'm about to fall to my death right now. She bit it. — Yeah. Nina was dangling like a spider in the air, but the guys have an edge on us. They're wearing sneakers and we're wearing like platform heels. — And it was raining. To make matters worse, it was raining. — It is raining outside hard, too. And it's cold. — Here we go. She's getting it. — It was dark and it was raining. Yeah. I'm going to stay inside for that one. I don't think the models practiced at all. They had no prior training to doing this and they were expected to just effortlessly walk down this building on the side of the building, I'm sorry, the side of it. Do you think an agency is going to allow their model to do a runway like this if their model has no experience, no training, is not comfortable with it, or they're there's a potential for harm on their model? If they know they don't have experience or they're not fit to do something like that or they're not willing that, they're not going to send their models out to do something like that. Some of them have a fear of heights. — Oh, she's screaming. I have like bad panic and anxiety. So, I didn't look over at all, but I just keep hearing Clea. Not only are you putting people who you're surprising them with these concepts, you're giving them no chance to even try it out and be prepared in any way possible. No, you can't even prepare. Like, let's say, let's say you're okay with doing that, right? You're okay with the vertical runway challenge. You didn't even get to practice one time. At least when I do the Mario Kart tournament, okay, I practice the same map 17 times. Moo Farm, I know exactly where the cows are so I don't run into them, and I know where the little dirt uh bumps are, so I can do maximum like

### [10:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ifMNGr1zQk&t=600s) Segment 3 (10:00 - 15:00)

jumping off of those and the boosts. I cuz I prepared, but they don't even let these people prepared. Mario Kart gives me more grace than these than America's Next Top Model. They are not stunt people. They are models. Okay? They belong. just put him in the studio with five lights for God's sake. Just why are we on that side of a building that we don't have just do hair and makeup and just be in an air conditioned space? This one I see a lot of and it's the unrealistic time pressures that they put on these models. So, they'll have a challenge or a photo shoot and they'll give the models like 5 minutes to prepare and they'll be like, "Okay, have you mastered that? " In cycle 5, they had the girls do a covergirl commercial completely in Japanese. — You girls are going to do this commercial in Japanese. — I can barely speak English. And you want me to speak Japanese? That's right. Today, you do know Japanese or as much as you can read with these uh flash cards. Contestants had to memorize lines and then perform entirely in Japanese. Campbell Select. Select the best with from Campbell. I did so bad. — And they expect flawless results. If you mess up, everyone's going to be there like, "What is she conto? " which I'm pretty sure means really in Japanese. — Also, expect you to speak very fluent Japanese. — I don't speak Japanese. — It sounds not like Japanese, right? — They had minimal prep time. Why would also why would you want a model that doesn't know that language to now deliver a commercial an entire commercial for your brand so you can have a brand commercial for someone who doesn't know that language that's struggling the whole time because it was never about having a good commercial. It was having good TV. In reality, if a brand is shooting a commercial, especially in another language, the first thing they would do is get a model who can speak that language fluently. Brands are also paying for studio time to film these commercials in. So, they want a model who's going to be efficient and do the best takes possible and be as prepared as possible so that they can maximize on the time that they're paying to be in the studio. That's the reality of it is that they wouldn't waste money having someone mess up so many times. But it's not their fault because you gave them no time to prep. practice. and you're giving them something that is out of their qualifications or out of their uh knowledge of expertise like the literally knowing a language or not. The next one, I don't think people realize this one, and that is the free brand promo and advertising these girls do. And how much do you guys know how much money these models would be getting paid if they were in the real world? Like, okay, the CoverGirl commercials and the brands stuff that they do on America's Next Top Model, the models would be paid thousands of dollars. And they are doing this for free on the show under the guise of it's a challenge. It's for a photo shoot for you to advance, but the brand is probably paying to have their image on the show, right? So, they're pay someone's getting paid. I don't know about who's getting paid or not. I can't speak to that. Uh I will say like allegedly the models are not paid or the brands allegedly pay to have their image in the show, but I don't know. I don't know for sure. Contestants on the show were producing usable marketing content for these brands, commercials, campaigns. They were taking doing photooots with the lipsticks and the mascaras, everything, the covergirl stuff. All these promotions were framed as competition. In cycle 17 of Allstars, the girls had to do a photo shoot wearing clothing from Express. — And today, you girls are going to be doing a shoot for Express, but we have the client on set today. Come alive. I think we're good. Relax your shoulders. Give me some neck. Chin down. There you go. Now we're cooking with gas. It felt like one big promotion of the clothing company, but they are literally modeling a product for that brand that is featured in a very popular show like America's Next Top Model. So, it's like marketing within marketing. the show. — Shannon feed off of his energy. One, two, three. — Well, that's pretty. — Is she the type of girl you hooked?

### [15:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ifMNGr1zQk&t=900s) Segment 4 (15:00 - 20:00)

— Not based on this yet. just use a little commercial. I've spoken with models who have done major campaigns. Like I see their picture when I go to Sephora on one of the advertisements. They get paid thousands of dollars for stuff like that. The brand deals campaigns. The girls on the show don't get much of anything. They get a chance to go on to the next episode where they do a photo shoot with lotion or something. In the real world, models are paid to do brand campaigns, advertising. There are things like image licensing and the image usage. How long can you use this image? Can you use it globally? only in certain countries? at certain stores? Like there are there's so much that goes into doing campaigns and having using images of models, right? That is not discussed on this show. A lot of the time they're making these girls do these photo shoots for these brands and everything only for it to live inside that episode and it never is used in the real world. So, it really is just promo for that brand in the show, living in the show. Kind of again disguising it as, oh, this is for the real world of modeling, but it never is used in the real world of modeling.

Yeah, that's right, you guys. So, the production knows everything about these girls. Okay, they fill out forms. The models have told me that they fill out forms before they go on the show, like family history, everything about yourself, probably including what they're scared of. Okay. Do you have any fears? If you put heights, spiders, you best believe they're going to bring in spiders and a tall building into your next photo shoot. And that's exactly what happened on cycle three with Eva being surprised with a photo shoot, including spiders, and she just so happens to be deathly afraid of them. — The tarantula. — The tarantula is very safe, but we do have EMS on the side. — What do you mean it's very safe? Why would you have to have EMS? — We have EMS here all the time. — I don't like spiders. cuz I don't want them to touch me. I don't want to be near them. It's a horrible phobia I've always had. I'm really iffy right now. — Can we get a tissue for her, please? — Spider comes off. I just start crying and I was not finished with the shoot. I wasn't even halfway done yet. — Tears. Can we fix it? Let me fix. Can we move the light so I can see your face? — In cycle 2, they did a photo shoot where the girls were suspended over a giant hole. And one of the models, Katie, happens to be afraid of heights. — We are going to suspend you from this ledge and shoot you guys hanging over this hole. — I don't want to do this and I'm very scared. I don't want to die. Katie was visibly upset and crying during this entire photo shoot, even as they suspended her over this giant hole. — It's okay, baby. It's cake. It's cake, baby. That's it. — Do you want to come up, Katie? Katie, up? — And the photographer is trying to take pictures of her as she's crying in between shots. What kind of photo shoot situation is this? — You want to come up, Katie? — Give me a second. — Okay. — I'm thinking, suck it up and get it over with. You have to do this. You're out here. you might as well do your best. — No one else talk. — In reality, professional shoots don't force models to confront their fears. It would just not happen. If a model is scared of something, she wouldn't be posing with it for a photo shoot. You have limited time on a photo shoot. You're paying everyone to be there to get a shot for a product or a brand. You

### [20:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ifMNGr1zQk&t=1200s) Segment 5 (20:00 - 22:00)

want to make sure you're time efficient. You get good pictures. You're not going to get good pictures if your model is uncomfortable or deathly afraid or crying on your photo shoot because she's scared of something. Okay. The second thing is you just shouldn't put a model in that position to begin with. So agent agents will not allow their model to be put in that situation. They are not going to send models who have fears of certain things to go and do a photo shoot with those things because it's not going to go well for the brand. They're not going to get good pictures. The model is going to be traumatized. She's going to not do a good job. that's going to reflect on the agency. It doesn't make any sense from a business standpoint. If you think about just think about money, if you like the show does, all they care about is money, right? And ratings. If you think about professional photo shoot where someone's paying thousands of dollars to have a setup and the lights and the makeup artist, hair stylist, all you're bringing in all these people and then you're going to get a model who's scared of what she's going to be posing or like not comfortable posing in this concept. Why would you do that? Dead doesn't make any sense. You're wasting all these people's times. You're not going to get the best pictures and you're probably going to have to redo it. Get the model that's comfortable and that's confident the first time. That's what they do in the real world. If you are on America's Next Top Model and they're asking you if you're scared of anything. What have I said, you guys? Puppies, uh, cats, money, Visa gift cards, Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. Terrified of that. I'm scared of new furniture from Crate and Barrel. I'm scared of a new car. You just have to lie if they ask you. If you're scared of anything on this show, hesitation is framed as lack of commitment or if they have boundaries, then the girls are being difficult and they don't want it enough and they're not cut out for this competition in the model, the real world of modeling. But boundaries are very normal and you should have boundaries, not only as a model, but as a human being. All of us have boundaries of things we are okay with doing and not okay with doing. Models have boundaries just like the rest of us. There are photo shoots they are okay with doing and not okay doing. But there's many more things that the show did that was very unrealistic in the world of modeling. Just going to have to save it for another video, for another time, just like they did with all those commercials that we never saw ever again. Like where do those commercials go? I don't know.
