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

Hi, I'm Angela. I model, I create, and I am very bad at keeping a straight face on camera. Let's work.
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.
Before and after
Bare face to full glam
Headband on, nothing on my face, looking straight at the camera. Ten seconds later I'm in a red halter with my puff up and my laugh back.
Bare-faced or fully done, it's the same me, and I'm just as easy to work with either way.
Moving picture
Caught dancing
White gele, blue adire and a song I could not sit still for. Hands, shoulders, the whole thing.
If you need someone who can move for the camera, this is a taste of it.
My moods
Nine 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.
Come closer
Red lip, orange sleeves, zero apologies. This is the face I bring to beauty briefs.
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.
Stand tall
Five foot four, and you won't notice, because a good line is about how you stand, not how tall you are.
Proper Yoruba bride
Black beaded lace, gele tied, jacket over my arm. Weddings, heritage brands, big family energy.
Queen of Benin
Full corals. Edo heritage in its glory. Available for bridal, cultural and luxury campaigns.
Oshodi wa o
Or maybe Ikorodu. Cap low, yellow bus behind me, Lagos being loud. That's a Lagos story.
Dress code, optional
White shirt, striped tie, wide shades and jeans. I took the dress code and rewrote it.
Yellow morning
Dressed in yellow looking like Cinderella but my glass slippers are right where they should be.

No filter. Just me.
Casting directors always ask for digitals first, so here they are: plain wall, plain light, no tricks. What you see is who turns up on the day, and yes, I turn up smiling.
