TikTok Star Noah Beck, Photographer Call Out Instagram After Photoshoot Removed

READ TIME: 2 MIN.

TikTok star Noah Beck and photographer Damon Baker are calling out Instagram after the social media platform removed their sexy black-and-white photoshoot, Just Jared reports.

The pics, which are still up on Twitter, show the 19-year-old Internet star sporting nothing but a pair of Clavin Klein underwear. They were apparently too hot for Instagram, which removed the photoshoot, sparking Beck, who has 7.5 million followers, and Baker to call out the censorship.

"Dear Instagram. What exactly is offensive about a confident male body?! stop censoring art. Thanks!" Baker wrote on his Instagram Stories. "It is our upmost responsibility as the new generation to make sure that ART SURVIVES. We cannot be silenced. History has done that too much to us. Without art, without expression, who do we become?! FREE ART!!!!"

"Y'all soft over at Instagram... stop taking my stuff down. Like yes, I was kind of naked but like... not completely lol. I didn't violate any guidelines," Beck wrote.

Back in 2018, Baker faced a similar situation when he shared his photoshoot with "Queer Eye" star Antoni Porowski. At the time, Instagram removed the pics, saying it went against the site's "community guidelines on nudity or pornography."

"There was nothing pornographic or nude about my pictures of Antoni but Instagram deleted the post so now I'm sad and upset. WTF is so offensive about a human body? We all have one!" Baker wrote at the time. "I create to please, to inspire, to push boundaries, to motivate, to change. Instagram failed artists today. I need a hug."

Though the photos were initially removed, they are currently back up on Baker's account -- for the time being. Check them out below.
