It's been 3 days since the Super Bowl ended. 110 Million people (in the US only) watched the game, the commercials, and of course Beyoncé taking over the world. Her performance was truly amazing, and she proved to all those who doubted - she can sing live, and do it like a champion. But apparently, her Super Bowl gig is now causing some people in the photo industry to raise some eyebrows.
Beyonce's publicist Yvette Noel-Schure called and emailed the BuzzFeed staff and asked them to remove photos from Beyoncé’s Super Bowl performance (taken by Getty Images photographers) they posted the day after the show.
Yvette: "As discussed, there are some unflattering photos on your current feed that we are respectfully asking you to change. I am certain you will be able to find some better photos.

The worst are #5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 19 and 22.
Thank you very much."
In response to that request, the internet is now spreading these photos like wild fire. Publicity fail. Or maybe huge success. Depends how you look at it.
Do you think it was a smart move to ask for the photos to be removed just because she doesn't like them?

No one would even care or be saying anything if her publicist just shut their mouth.. You know when you tell a kid to stop doing something, then they do t again to test their boundaries well welcome to the internet where if you tell people one thing we TROLLLLLLLALALALALALALALALALALALALAL the F out of you. hahahahahah.
As a photographer, i'd much rather be known as the one who delivered "the goods" not necessarily the "bads". Especially if you'd like to return and get more work. My camera bodies shoot stills at 10fps so I can see how once could easily get those and more. And sure, the name Beyonce alone will get hundreds of thousands of views if not millions, but is that a good thing to have unflattering photos circulating for millions to laugh at? Yes if you don't mind being number with any other opportunist looking to become infamous. But if you're a tasteful professional, listen to the publicist and consider removing what's left of the unflattering shots. The damage is already done but it's the thought that count.
My two cents... probably could've gotten you some penny candies in the early 80's.

want to act like a whore on stage? this is what happens, you end up looking like a fool.
Two things: these are unflattering? Is it the world's image or her personal self image that has a problem with these pics? She still looks hot to me in all these pics. And I'm not even a fan. She's
beautiful--tell her to get over herself or stop performing live.
Second: whoever took these must have though they were flattering. Personally, I wouldn't risk my reputation releasing anything but the most flattering pics. Yeah, I might not have shared any of these. But that's probably the difference between a career photographer and a paparazzo--the latter just doesn't give a fuck. The worse the better.
These still ain't that bad.
So this could explain the reason she looked bad in the pictures. Keep an open mind, reguardless I am sure that I will get a lot of hate about this. Just sayin'.
