This girl’s pizza selfie is going viral thanks to a hilarious (and ingenious?) selfie hack

Sometimes, all a girl wants to do is Instagram her dinner, but poorly-lit restaurants make for poor selfie material. One creative teen enlisted the help of several teammates to make sure her pizza-eating selfie was perfectly lit.

The volleyball player posted a shot of her eating pizza to Twitter, alongside a photo of several other girls holding up their phones to illuminate her face in the selfie. It’s a trick photographers and videographers use on a daily basis: When shooting in a dark space, you need a key light (front) and fill light (side) to get the movie star look you crave. Why not do it with phones?

We've gotta hand it to her: She looks positively flawless in her selfie, even while taking a big ol' bite of pizza.

The tweet has since gone viral, garnering more than 50,000 retweets.

"All I did was eat pizza," the teen wrote on Twitter, shocked her little lighting trick attracted so much attention.

In true internet form, Twitter users are now turning her photo into various memes.

What can we say, Jane? We appreciate a little ingenuity when we see it.
