If you regularly wear glasses, they're likely to be part of your image and how people recognise you (I wear glasses most days now and feel a bit exposed without them - hello eye bags!). So, glasses on or off in your headshot?
During a photoshoot, the studio lights can sometimes create glare or reflections in the lenses, which isn't the best look.
So, what to do in a photoshoot? I angle the key light to the side and offset the fill light to avoid reflections.
I usually use a reflector to brighten shadows and flatter the face — but for glasses, I leave it.
So, glasses or no glasses? Let's try both ways, then you have options.
