this is what i suspected and, along with raising the main light and tilting it slightly more downward, is how i get rid of eyeglasses glare during shoots – i thought this was the reason you suggested removing the lenses from eyeglasses, but wanted to make sure.

thanks for the clarification!

Aaron, Have the subject bring the chin down a bit. This should cut down on the reflection from the key light.

“If wearing glasses in a shot, you should have the lenses taken out prior to shoot. Almost any eyewear store will do this for you.”

what about glasses that are partially or entirely frameless?

This is probably the most informative article on headshots I’ve ever read. In particular, the way you gave pointers on how to achieve the major looks is fabulous.
