Behind The Scenes Of Kate Upton’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Cover [NSFW]

Everyone remembers the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Cover. It brought a lot of discussion for the wrong reasons. If you don’t, you should refresh your memory here. This time around, the 2013 cover also features Kate Upton. Although it is much better, it seems that some people are still unhappy with it because she’s the cover model again. At least the focus went away from the processing of the image.

I’ve seen mixed opinions on the cover itself. However, I always wonder what goes on during the shoot to get to the end result. Here’s a behind the scenes video where Kate talks about the shoot with a glimpse of what she went through to get to the final image.

With all things considered, how do you think she did? What would you have done differently had you been in charge of the final image?
