Celebrity photographer, Kelechi Amadi-Obi spotted a pillow seller somewhere in Lagos and offered to give her a free photo shoot because he believed she could be a model.
The story is reminiscent of Olajumoke, the bread seller and TY Bello’s supposed chance photo-bomb of a Tinie Tempah photo shoot.
Amadi-Obi, spotted the lady, whose name is given as Bukola while doing a photoshoot with US rapper, Jidenna during his recent visit to Lagos.
“This is Bukola. Some weeks back I was shooting @jidenna on Broad street Lagos and in between takes I saw her across the street selling pillows. Had to call her and give my number. ‘If you’re interested in modeling please give me a call,’ I said,” Kelechi Amadi-Obi wrote on Instagram on Friday, October 7, 2016.
“Well she came to the studio and I called my number one MUA @bimpeonakoya and this is what we came up with. I think she will make a great model. What do you think? #africanbeauty #diamondintherough,” he captioned one of the photos.
