When photographing a model, why do photographers stay far away and use a huge lens rather than get closer?

I realized that in behind the scenes videos, photographers outdoors seem very far away from their subject with a huge lens rather than being close up.

Standing further away allows the use of lenses which create better proportioned photos to be taken.
Too close and the lenses required have unwanted distortion.
Do look at the same image photographed with different focal length lenses.
