Model Of The Week: Jack’enneth Opukeme

Jack’enneth Opukeme is a Calabar-based editorial and runway model who hails from Bayelsa state. Modeling came to him through a friend’s suggestion and since there is never any harm in trying, he gave it a shot. Ever since then he’s worked with designers like Edrealxtiches, Jimmy Mayde It, Tonaz Bespoke Wears and photographers such as Smart Nya, Bankzart, 98Sensation and Wee Shot It.

To him, modeling is a highly collaborative art form. It is the presentation of one’s self as a canvas for the purpose of creating art.

Being a lover of charity, he has raised funds for charity through his productions.

As a model, Jack’enneth Opukeme has his discouraging moments.
