Since Tyra Banks started scoping out her ANTM contestants from their Instagram photos, it’s kind of become one of the more popular, but unexpected ways to “get discovered” as a model these days. Justin Bieber once creeped hardcore on an underage Spanish girl’s Instagram, and overnight she found herself with a modeling contract. Now, same thing might be happening for this masterpiece of a human being who photobombed Tinie Tempah‘s Nigerian photoshoot.
The English musician posted the photo from his trip to his parent’s home country, taking a page from Justin Bieber’s book, captioned the photo:
Who is she?!
But continues more eloquently:
Every one has been asking if this lady is a model .. It was just perfect coincidence … She just happened to be walking by while I photographed . It happened so fast .She definitely SHOULD be a model. .. I’m happy to help her build a portfolio if she’s interested .She’s so beautiful and photographed so well. I’ll find a way to track her down somehow . You guys can also help
Different though, Tempah wants to help this girl pursue a career, Bieber was looking for some arm candy. A week later, the woman, Olajumoke Orisaguna, was found and photographed for a Nigerian magazine, Style, by photographer Ty Bello. Before being discovered, Orisaguna had made some serious decisions. Apparently, according to Bello ,she was:
a hair stylist from Ire in Osun state but not making enough profit between she and her husband, a sliding door installer in from same village, to care for their two young children. At the invitation of a distant relative who knew someone operating a bakery, she relocated to Lagos with her 14-month-old daughter to give bread hawking a try, leaving her husband and older 5-year-old behind.
She has since been signed by a local Nigerian agency where hopefully, she is paid her fair share, where hopefully she is reunited with her husband and son, where hopefully she has new opportunities for herself.
