It’s a classic case of being in the right place at the right time. A young street seller oblivious to the scene ahead, her wares perched atop her head, photobombed a shoot and in that split second her life changed forever.

Jumoke Orisaguna is a mother of two who used to walk the streets of Lagos selling bread. Originally a hairstylist from Osun State, southwest Nigeria, she was struggling to make ends meet, and left her husband and two children in their home town to become a street vendor in the economic capital.

Working from 2:30 to 11 p.m. selling bread, Jumoke would make less than US$20 each day — with a profit of around US$1.

Now she’s about to become a top model, signed to a modeling agency and gaining international fame and prominence. Renowned Nigerian photographer TY Bello is behind the change in Jumoke’s fortunes. TY was photographing U.K. popstar Tinie Tempah when Jumoke walked into shot.

“She seemed a little confused,” said Bello. “Some people were asking her to walk past really quickly, others were asking her to stay, she was just in limbo. I said ‘is it ok to take your photograph?’ And she nodded ok.”

“I didn’t think I made a great image,” Bello said, but once she posted the shots on social media, interest in Jumoke exploded.

“When the photographs landed for the first time on social media, everyone immediately thought she was a model,” Bello explained.

“No one believed she just walked past. It occurred to me that if everyone thought she should be a model then maybe she should be one, then the search for her began.”

A contract with Few Models followed and soon Jumoke’s face appears on billboards after landing a lucrative contract.

“I never expected this would ever happen to me,” said the erstwhile bread seller. “My friends have told me they saw me on the TV and they are really happy. My parents cannot believe their own child can become such a success. They are all so happy.” Now the mom of two has been given a scholarship to complete her education, and a bank has offered to pay for schooling for her two children, aged 5 and 1, until university age.

这是一个“在对的时间地点遇到对的

人”的经典案例。头上顶着商品的年轻路边小贩误入别人的镜头却浑然不知，但她的人生却因这个瞬间永远改变。

朱默克· 奥里萨古纳是两个孩子的母亲，过去在拉各斯的街上叫卖面包。她早先在尼日利亚西南部的奥孙州做过美发师，因为入不敷出，不得不离开丈夫和孩子，背井离乡，来到经济之都拉各斯沿街叫卖。

她每天从下午2点半开始卖面包，直到晚上11点，每天最多可以到手20美元，利润大约一美元。现在，她即将成为一名顶级模特。她已经和一家模特经纪公司签约，开始蜚声国际。

尼日利亚著名摄影师贝罗改变了朱默克的命运。当时贝罗正在为英国说唱歌手泰尼· 坦

普拍摄，朱默克误入镜头。

“她看起来有点不知所措，”贝罗说。“有人叫她赶快走开，有人请她待在原地，她愣住了。于是我说，可以给你拍照吗？她点头同意了。”

贝罗说：“我当时没觉得拍的有多好，但当她在社交媒体上发布了照片后，反响很不错。”

“照片首次出现在社交媒体上时，每个人的第一反应都以为她是模特，”贝罗解释称。

“没人想到她只是镜头的一个过客。这也让我突然觉得，如果每个人都觉得她应该是个模特，那或许她真的可以成为一个模特。之后我们开始找她。”

在和“菲尤模特公司”签约后，朱默克不久就接到了收益丰厚的单子，她的面孔也出现在广告牌上。“我从没想到这种事会发生在我身上，”这位曾经的面包女郎说道。“我的朋友告诉我他们很高兴在电视上看到我。我的父母不敢相信他们的孩子会取得这样的成功，他们非常高兴。”现在，这位两个孩子的母亲已经得到了一笔奖学金，可以完成学业。一家银行也表示愿意支付她两个孩子（一个5岁，另一个1岁）直到大学的学费。
