Have you ever taken a picture of someone wearing glasses and after developing the pictures you come to realize there is an annoying reflection from the flash of your camera on your subjects glasses? I have and it is not very flattering when you can't see their eyes because the eyes give expression to your subject. I have found that the reflection can be avoided by paying attention to how and where your lens, subject and lighting are positioned.
When you are shooting someone with glasses and you are using a built in flash pay attention to where you are standing relatively to your subject. To avoid the reflection of the flash you may want to ask your subject to remove their glasses. If this is not possible then ask them to tilt their head a little. If you are shooting with a digital camera take a few shots then tell your subject where to tilt their head. If you are using a film camera take a small flashlight and place it where the flash will be located. If it is showing in the glasses then tell your subject to tilt their head. Watch the reflection of the flash disappear then take your shot.
Well I hop this will help you create better shots of people wearing glasses. Good luck and Have fun!
