    People With Glasses

    When taking portraits of people with glasses, you have to have the person turn their head slightly left or right and then it is always better to have them VERY SLIGHTLY tilt their head down. I MEAN VERY SLIGHTLY... YOu dont want them to look as if they are uncompfortible.... I have a few portraits of a boy with glasses in my gallery... I did you external flash.. Here is one example, and 2 more are in my gallery...

    TURN HEAD ( NOT LOOK )

    The subject should still look at you, they should just turn their head a little bit left or right..... BUT THEY SHOULD STILL LOOK AT YOU..... SEE THE LINK I LEFT ABOVE... PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHAT I AM TELLING YOU......
