how do you shoot people that wear glasses?...i get the annoying reflection from my lighting equipment ie. my softboxes/umbrellas...in my pictures

usually they are uncomfortable to remove them....what are some tips and/or advice?

thanks

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...
