The video was shot by Soft White Underbelly (SWU) at the family’s home in Odd, West Virginia.

SWU is a YouTube channel by photographer and author Mark Laita where individuals or families are interviewed and have portrait pictures taken of them.

Laita was joined by travel YouTuber Lauren Vasquez on his trip this summer.

The video called “Whittakers-Summer 2023” shows Vasquez bringing a fast food pizza to the siblings who were sitting on the porch of their home.

As Vasquez passed the pizza to each sibling to take a slice Laita made a remark. 

Laita said: “You guys are hungry now.”

One of the Whittaker brothers expressed his enjoyment. 

He said: “I’ll eat some more.”

The hour-long YouTube video meets siblings Betty, Larry, and Kenneth who are communicative, and Ray, who is not verbally communicative.

Ray notably communicated through grunts, possibly due to the effects of possible inbreeding.

Laita took photographs of the Whittakers for the first time in 2004 for his book, Created Equal.

He had also created a GoFundMe account to help the Whittakers purchase a new home.

The page currently has over $17,000 in donations from 815 people.

A previous fundraising page was created in 2022 to help the Whittakers cover family expenses, according to Laita on GoFundMe.

Despite the Whittakers' rural location in West Virginia, Laita's book and YouTube videos have attracted visitors to their home.

In his most recent video, Laita claimed he had to be taken to their home by police escort due to this.
