Proving the power of social media, a Kerala street vendor has become an internet sensation after photos of her makeover went viral. Kisbu was selling balloons near a temple when she was spotted by photographer Arjun Krishnan. The photographer quickly snapped a few photos of the teen, one of which he later posted to Instagram. The response it received was unexpected – the photo quickly went viral online and led to Kisbu starring in a photo shoot that has captivated the internet.
Photographer Arjun Krishnan told DailyExpertNews that he saw Kisbu selling balloons at the Andalur Kavu festival on January 17. Struck by her modest elegance, he quickly grabbed his camera and took a photo of the teen.
After taking a few more photos, he approached Kisbu and her mother and showed them the photos he had taken. Arjun says they were happy with the photos.
Soon after, he shared the photo on social media, where it went viral and led to someone coming into contact with Kisbu and her family, India Today reports. After Kisbu’s family agreed to a photo shoot, makeup artist Remya Prajul set to work on her transformation.
According to Remya, the makeover started at 4 a.m., with Kisbu getting a manicure, pedicure and facial. To make sure she was comfortable, every step was explained to her along the way. Check out some photos from the photo shoot below:
For the photo shoot, Kisbu was styled in a traditional kasavu sari with gold jewelry. Photos from the shoot, shared on Instagram by Arjun Krishnan, received an overwhelming response. The photos have registered tens of thousands of ‘likes’ and compliments on the photo and video platform.
