How can I take available light photos without glare on eyeglasses?

Answer 1

Photographers approach this subject many ways, they remove the lenses, lower the glasses so that it cuts through the eye even have the subject remove his or her glasses. However, this doesn't work at all.

Remember this when it comes to lighting: The angle of incident is equal to the angle of reflection. That simply means that the angle that light hits an object is equal to the angle that it leaves the object.

So, to remove glare from natural lighting: First, figure out what direction the lighting is coming from. The easiest oppertunity is to photograph with the light coming from the side or behind, however... if it's bright sunlight, shooting directly into the sun is quite tricky. Let's say the light source is behind you. The best possibility is to have the subject tilt their face slightly forward and possibly, just slightly tilt their glasses forward. This will cause the light to come off the source, hit their glasses and bounce towards the ground instead of back at the camera.

Same trick can be applied to side lighting. Lean their glasses and their face slightly foward to direct the light away from the camera lense and toward the ground.
