Photos: The Agege bread seller finally makes it to the front cover of ThisDayStyle.

Don’t you just love a fairy tale with a happy ending? Last month, celebrity photographer and singer TY Bello shot the ‘Disturbing Lagos’ editorial for ThisDay Style featuring British-Nigerian entertainer and style icon Tinie Tempah. One of the photos features a young bread seller who the photographer said she met on the streets while they were shooting, and who ended up being the perfect addition to the shot.

“She walked onto our set and magic happened,” TY Bello narrated later on her Instagram page, “it wasn’t planned at all. I didn’t even know I nailed the narrative until I edited a few days later.”

Days ago, Ms Bello shared the photo on her page again, asking her fans to help her find the young woman. “Every one has been asking if this lady is a model,” TY Bello said, “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.”

Eventually, TY Bello’s assistant found the lady – Olajumoke, and the resulting story is incredibly heartwarming.
After an hour with Bello’s glam squad, Olajumoke was transformed.

Now, meet Olajumoke Orisaguna, Nigeria’s hottest new model!
