I would like to ask, how is it different to shoot portraits, of a person having glasses?
She wants me to do a simple portrait with a white background, but I'm a little bit afraid of reflexion of her glasses,...
Any tips? Or I should absolutely not be afraid of this?
All of my self-portraits are with me wearing my glasses. The newer glasses generally have a coating so aren't as reflective as they used to be. Try different angles. You'll get it.
I have glasses, and usually if I hold my chin down just a little and the camera is above I don't get much reflection. The other thing, at least with me, is to notice the frames and the side of the face. My glasses are wider than my face and cut in sometimes. But you can fix this in editing too.
I took a portrait of someone with glasses a while ago. Also in front of a plae white backgruond actually. All I did was to make the light come from slightly above so that it would reflect on the frame and not on the glass...
I actually took a portrait of a friend of mine with glass the other day and the reflection turned out very interesting so we kept it in. of course, that depends what's being reflected in the glasses, and this was an outdoor portrait so.....
@lislee75@6dav1d6 are on the right track. The reason you get blare on the glasses is that the light from your flash is bouncing back on almost the same angle you are viewing through the camera. This would also explain why almost all snapshots with flash have some kind of red-eye.
The first step is get your flash well above your camera - that's the reason for the flash brackets you see pros use. Then you can project and lower the chin, if you still have just a slight bit of glass glare.
And it really helps to use a bounce card (if your flash has one, or google how to make your own) or a diffuser to soften the light from your flash.
Not to discourage you, but there some glasses - especially those big sunglasses that are in vogue - that you simply cannot get rid of the glare and have to incorporate it into your photo.
this guy had so many reflections in almost all his other poses..but this one had none..and no photoshopping was done..its all in the angle depending on the light...
i just started photography, so i don;t know for sure but this is what worked for me.
