A street vendor, Olajumoke Orisaguna, has been discovered while accidentally photobombing a fashion shoot in Nigeria.

British singer Tinie Tempah, who is of Nigerian descent, was in the city of Lagos shooting for a fashion magazine when a local bread seller walked into frame.

The photograph made it to print, with Orisaguna in a loose red dress, flip flops and balancing several loaves of bread on her head.

Reactions surrounding the image and "mystery model" grew rapidly on social media.

Nigerian photographer, Ty Bello, who was behind the shoot was encouraged by the social media response to track down the photogenic bread seller.

Once Orisaguna made contact, Bello featured her on the cover and in a mutli-page spread shoot for Nigerian magazine This Day Style.

One of the photographs even featured the mother of two with her 14-month-old daughter, Grace.

This photobombing incident has spurred even more opportunities for Orisaguna.

In addition to the cover shoot, Orisaguna has been featured in a documentary (also by Bello), as well as being signed by Nigerian modelling agency, Few Models.
