Angela Barnabas

Hi, I'm Angela. I model, I create, and I am very bad at keeping a straight face on camera. Let's work.

hi, that's me
Angela laughing out loud, bare-faced, in a leopard-print shirt
my real laugh. you'll hear it a lot.

Who's behind the face

Teacher. Creator. Model. Always a bit extra.

I teach, I create, I run people's social pages, and I model. Creativity, style and storytelling go into every frame I make, whether it's a campaign or a Reel.

If you want a face that sits still and says nothing, I'm not her. If you want someone who gets the idea, adds her own, and makes the picture feel like something, send me the brief.

My moods

Seven of me. Pick a mood.

I change a lot: hair, colour, energy. The camera never gets the same girl twice, and I like it that way. Keep scrolling and watch the room change with me.

Bold on purpose

Red dress, red wall, arms crossed. I know exactly what I'm doing here.

serious face. lasted four seconds.

Come closer

Red lip, orange sleeves, zero apologies. This is the face I bring to beauty briefs.

closer. closer. yes, that one.

Main character hair

Long waves, gold on the eyes and red earrings that do the talking. I can be a little extra if the brief asks for it.

the earrings are the whole point

Stand tall

Five foot four, and you won't notice, because a good line is about how you stand, not how tall you are.

Dressed for the owambe

Gele tied, lace on, hand over my mouth because I'm already laughing. Weddings, heritage brands, big family energy.

hand over mouth = already laughing

Danfo girl

Cap low, yellow bus behind me, Lagos being loud. The photo is better for it and so am I.

this city is my favourite backdrop

Slow morning

Yellow dress, warm bench, nowhere to be. Easy is a look too, and brands that want to feel human come looking for it.

soft days are my favourite days
