How do i take a photo of someone with glasses and not get a glare? I have a digital camera.?

Answer 1

you have to play with light

Answer 2

Actually, the biggest part of the problem are the lenses in the glasses. Most newer lenses have an "AR" (Anti-Reflective) coating on them just to prevent light reflecting off the lens (though by no means standard, they still inquire if you want the coating when purchasing lenses).

There is also anti-reflective glass that is made for framing; so it can be viewed through with-out the glare showing up and obscurring the contents behind the glass from the viewer.

However, when you have to cope with hand you're dealt (i.e. other peoples' eye wear)... the first poster has the right idea. Try shifting to a different angle when taking the picture instead of shooting the subject/person straight-on.

Answer 3

Seems you have a point and shoot camera. The glare is caused by your flash being built too close to the lens. There;s nothing you can do with that. So you either ask your subject to remove his/her glasses or if he'she insists on having them on, ask him or her to slightly angle her profile to the left or right.

You can also shoot without a flash. Turn on all the lights in the room (remove all lampshades) and ask your subject to be as still as possible. Use a tripod and set the timer to trigger the camera in order to avoid camera shake.

Or simply take the photo outdoors. Choose a late afternoon sun.

Answer 4

The reason for this is because a) the flash went off and the light reflected off the glass. b) there was something bright reflecting off the glass when you took the shot. Solution: a) manually turn off flash or have flash on but do not take the shot face on (if you take at an angle the flash light will reflect in another direction and not at your camera) b) move the picture or your angle so that the natural light reflecting does not appear in your shot.

Answer 5

Several ways: try to position the subject so the flash will not reflect of the lens in the glasses. If possible (not recommended) remove the lens from the frame, this is not desirable but it works.
Increase the light in the room/area so flash is not needed.

Answer 6

just take the picture as you would normally do with your camera. Then, put it on your computer and into a photo editing program so you can edit out the glare.

Answer 7

It's tricky, but you have to use a low flash, then still you'll get a glare. If there is still a glare, politely asked them to remove their glasses.

Answer 8

if your flash is on your camera, that causes the light to reflect back into the lens. you can do two things 1.move the flash up off the camera,if its a portable flash. 2. if its built on your camera
and it only flashes one direction turn it off. get a portable flash with a bounce attachment. you can get pro. lighting..
and no glare...

Answer 9

Different angles or a hotshoe flash if your only using your camera flash. Then you can angle it. Just play around. Go outside in natural light on a cloudy day. Best conditions for portrait photography.

Answer 10

Set white balance for inside incandesant light and turn off the flash... or move lighting source to side of subject... or have subjuect tilt head down a little.

Answer 11

if they have non reflective coating on their glasses you won't get a glare anyway, ask them if they do, most glasses places offer it when you get glasses.
