From selling bread to high-glamour photoshoots.

Nigerian native Olajumoke Orisaguna was going about her usual daily duties when she happened to chance upon a Tinie Tempah photo shoot.

The 27-year-old was working as a breadseller when she accidentally photobombed the music star and the photos turned out pretty special.

Having no clue who Olajumoke was or how to find her, photographer Ty Bello set about finding her.

She posted on her Instagram writing: “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. 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”.

Ty eventually managed to track Olajumoke down and found out that she was a mother of two who had to make huge sacrifices to make a living.

In an Instagram post, Bello said: “A hair stylist from Ire in Osun state but not making enough profit between her and her husband, a sliding door installer from same village, to care for their two young children”.

Since then Bello made Olajumoke the subject of a short documentary and arranged for a glamorous photoshoot.

The 27-year-old has also made the front cover of a magazine and landed a modelling contract, with her first official job taking place this week.
