One thing you might try to do is bouncing the flash, if your not using a the camera flash. That has helped my in the past.

Thank You very much, appreciate that, I have been told that before, often forget.

On these shots, I was spur of the moment making a shot with a Nikor 50 mm f1.8 lens, and stupid me, also had the external flash on and lots of reflective items as you can see. I seem to most always get eye glass reflection thus my posting..I Thank You for the reminder.

Merry Christmas to You and Your Loved ones.

The best way to eliminate glare from flash is to get the flash off-camera. Depending on the position of the glass wearer's head position you can still get glare but less likely so. Simply ask the person wearing glasses to lower their chin a bit . . . it's all about angles which is why in group photos with several people wearing glasses, some have glare and others will not. There are a lot of other tricks that require PP, but it's simpler to shoot a number of shots checking the camera's LCD each time and making small adjustments of the head position until you get it right.

Hope that helps . .

Also . . this image would be an easy fix because the glares do not obscure the actual eye itself, but a bigger problem here is that you have bad camera movement either from not having a fast enough shutter, or shooting in automatic mode where the camera has set the shutter speed too slow. With flash my settings for the camera in Manual mode are: ISO 400, Shutter speed of 1/200th of a second, and about F/4.5. The flash is automatic, so the camera doesn't have to be set at automatic when using flash.

Try it . . you'll like it!

The small bit of eyeglass glare is the least of your problems here. As the other poster said...the ghosting is really bad...lots of camera/subject movement.

To eliminate flash glare in eye glasses you need to get the flash at a different angle..flash is like a pool ball...whatever angle it hits the bumper at...it will exit at the opposite angle, and if your camera is at that angle..then you get glare.

Here is a video explaining how to eliminate it.
