He said: "Hi, sorry to disturb you while you are working... I'm a photographer and I take pictures of strangers on the streets of London to show the diversity and beauty of people. I was just wondering if I could take your portrait very quickly, like, very quickly? It will take like 30 seconds?"
Tianah, who is smiling responds: "Yeah, we can. Yes we can."
As he is taking the pictures, he says: "Wow... beautiful."

Sidhu, who promised to share the pictures with Tianah, also shared them on TikTok and Instagram.
His caption reads: "I'm back... After taking a little brake [sic] due to life circumstances I hit the streets of London to connect with random people create stories and art together. Here I saw this beautiful African lady doing her own little photoshoot and I couldn't help myself but ask if I could take a quick picture. The photographer did not seem impressed at all but the model absolutely loved the pictures that we captured."
His initial captions didn't mention Tianah, then Ugandans raided the comment section on TikTok and he tagged her on Instagram. TikTok captions are not editable after posting.
Tianah resigned from NTV where she hosted a fashion show in March 2022, saying she would now focus on creating content, influencing, and running her non-profit called The BT Foundation and her makeup company named BT Beauty.
Her TV career started with NBS TV in 2014 where she hosted a show called Youth Voice, then joined NTV in 2015 to host a dating show named Be My Date. She quit the station for a bit then returned in 2017 to host the fashion show.
