Meet the First Black Woman to Shoot a Vogue Cover

Nigerian-Jamaican photographer Nadine Ijewere has made history as the first black female photographer to shoot a cover for Vogue Magazine. The London-based portrait and fashion photographer took to Instagram to share her excitement. Ijewere wrote: "If you had told me last year I would have photographed for British Vogue I would have said not possible, if you had told me a cover I would have thought perhaps in a parallel universe!"
