Nik: Not that I’m sitting home taking tons of pictures of myself, but how do I take a good selfie?
Alex: Taking selfie pics makes me feel funny, but it’s good to be uncomfortable every once in awhile.
Nik: I agree, but I look constipated in every picture. Ooh, let’s ask Jae.
Alex: Jae?
Nik: Our friend. You know…the fashion photographer (www.jaefeinberg.com). She’ll have great tips.
Alex: Oh, I remember. I love her dog Shadow.
Nik: Yeah. Shadow’s sweet. She just texted back. Here’s what she said:
(Hi Nikstar. Tricks for a good selfie. Find your light. Make sure you look good. Take a bunch and throw the bad ones away. Shoot your best side. Have your eyes say something. Be sassy. Does that help? Doing a selfie is pretty easy cuz you can see yourself. Oh yeah and come out of your neck, no double chins. xoxox, Jae)
Nik: I just remembered when I modeled 101 years ago, a photographer told me to say the vowels. It helps relax the mouth. That sounds pervy now. Was he just being a perv?
Alex: ayyy-eee-iiiii…
Nik: …ooo-uuu. Ew.
