Make small adjustments
Turn slightly or move the light source away from the camera's direct line. Ask the photographer to watch the lenses while you shift your chin a little. Avoid an uncomfortable pose merely to eliminate every reflection.
Check the eyes
- Clean the glasses and camera lens.
- Try two nearby camera positions.
- Inspect whether reflections cover the pupils.
- Take a few relaxed frames after finding the angle.
A large bright window directly behind the photographer may reflect as a white rectangle in both lenses. Moving slightly sideways can preserve soft light while making the eyes visible.
Choose a realistic finish
Small reflections are not automatically a flaw. Do not use an edit that invents eyes or changes the frame shape. If the eyes are hidden in every frame, change the light or location and retake rather than accepting a heavily reconstructed face.
