The Toronto Sun's popular SUNshine Girl feature once spotlighted a model named Djazel, whose photoshoot continues to capture attention in the publication's archives. The feature, originally published in June of 2017, presented the model in a series of photographs taken by acclaimed Sun photographer Jack Boland.
Meet Djazel: The Model Behind the Feature
Djazel, whose name is pronounced similarly to "Giselle," was introduced as a professional model. Standing at 5 feet, 3 inches tall, she brought a distinct personal style to the shoot. Her interests, as shared in the feature, included a fondness for reading, singing, traveling, and attending live sporting events.
Personal Passions and Unique Style
A notable aspect of Djazel's personal expression is her appreciation for Egyptian symbolism. This interest is permanently reflected in body art, as she has several Egyptian symbols tattooed on her body. This detail added a layer of personal narrative to her SUNshine Girl presentation, setting her apart with a unique aesthetic.
The Photographic Legacy of a Toronto Feature
The gallery from the session, consisting of 16 individual images, was captured by staff photographer Jack Boland. His work for the Toronto Sun has documented countless subjects, and this particular session with Djazel remains a part of the newspaper's visual history. The full photoshoot is accessible to subscribers of the Toronto Sun's digital platform.
Subscriber access unlocks not only this gallery but also a wide range of content, including the digital ePaper replica, exclusive journalist analysis, and additional puzzles and articles. The feature on Djazel serves as a reminder of the local content and photographic journalism that the publication has offered its readers over the years.
