Default People wearing glasses

How can I prevent the glare on people wearing glasses? Also, is there an area on this site where we can search for topics?

The best method s to take care with lighting and posing. In less formal situation wait for head to move where there is no glare.

CPL can in some instances make skin look unnatural.

When in doubt, go to the Strobist: "Lighting for glasses".

Essentially, it boils down to having your subject look in the opposite direction of the light source (i.e., if the light is on the right, make them look to the left and vice versa).
