Street-seller photobombs Tinie Tempah's fashion shoot and quickly lands modelling contract

Be at the right place, at the right time.

That's how the modelling story began for a woman who photobombed Tinie Tempah's fashion shoot on the streets of his ancestral country Nigeria.

In a photo shot by Nigerian photographer and musician Ty Bello, a local bread seller who was passing by appears next to the British singer and songwriter, wearing a red dress and white flip flops.

Following the results of the image, Bello decided to track her down, offering publicly to help her build a portfolio. if she'd find her. It didn't take her too long to succesfully find the woman. Her name is Olajumoke Orisaguna and she's already landed a modelling contract.

The 27-year-old woman ended up being shot by Bello herself for the Nigerian magazine This Day Style, gracing the cover decked in a red attire. Inside the editorial, the street-seller poses with her 14-month-old daughter, Grace. 

Orisanguna’s story quickly became known across the country with the hashtag #olajumoke taking over social media. 

Bello’s stunning shot of Orisanguna triggered a potential modelling career for her, with local agency Few Models signing her.
