Nigerian 5-Year-Old's Photo Goes Viral, Labeled Most Beautiful Girl In The World 

Nigerian 5-Year-Old’s Photo Goes Viral, Labeled Most Beautiful Girl In The World
By Paula Rogo · Updated October 23, 2020

A five-year-old Nigerian girl’s photo has gone viral with many called her “the most beautiful girl alive.”

Nigerian photographer Mofe Bamuyiwa shared an image of the gorgeous girl, Jare, last week after setting up a photoshoot with her.

“Oh yes she’s human! She’s also an angel!” Lagos-based Bamuyiwa captioned the photo in which Jare has been praised for her doll-like features. 

Oh yes she’s human ! She’s also an angel ! “J A R E “ I want to portray the interception between her childhood and adulthood so both stay timeless ! I could have made her smile and make her laugh out loud but I put her in their natural moments for us to see through their eyes ! Posing them as adults ! Was my trick to create it a timeless portrait ! J A R E , when you clock 21 remember to do same pose and style TEAM Muse : @the_j3_sisters Make up by Dammy of @iposhlooks Creative style direction @mofebamuyiwa Hair by @totalshopwigs Hair styled by @hairkarved Styled by @styledbyseun Assisted by @adebimpe_aj @ernest_chuxx @official_bigjosh #bmbstudio #bmbphotography #mofebamuyiwa #kids #kidsphotography #artsy #love #light #childphotographer #familyphotography

According to Yahoo Lifestyle, the reaction to Jare’s photo prompted her mother to launch an Instagram page that also showcases her two other daughters Jomi, 7, and Joba, 10. The J3 sisters page has already garnered 58,000 followers, and they are available for modeling opportunities.

J A R E @the_j3_sisters CHILDREN ARE A GIFT FROM HEAVEN. I’m pretty excited and elated about my new style of child portraiture . Before I thought of Photographing the @the_j3_sisters , I have had frivolous ideas of how I can make artsy portraits of kids And do away from the norm . The opportunity came and I had to take a bold step to express my ideas of how I want to take portraits of kids. I want to portray the interception between her childhood and adulthood so both stay timeless !
