People who wear Glasses
-
I did a photo shoot at a recent event in our community (school reunion)
I am still a novice but love to learn and I suppose my inexperience is telling here.
Some of the shots came out great and I am really pleased but in these two shots I have people wearing glasses.
As you can see in this shot with the two ladies the lady on the left has anti glare but her sister on the right does not. Is there anything I can do (apart from next time ask person to take off their glasses) to remedy this. I have tried in photoshop but I find the fix is worse than the cure iykwim?
Also this family shot, the man to the left of shot – his glasses are a total nightmare to sort out as well.
Any tips advice or suggestions greatfully appreciated.
Sorry, no tips. But I work for an Optician and that is just about the best demo I’ve seen for the benefits of anti reflection coatings! Incredible the difference it makes.
I’ll be interested to see what folk come up with but my feeling is there would not be much you can do other than run with the glare and maybe tone it down slightly in PS. The specs wearers may not take kindly to removing the offending specs and tend to look ‘lost’ without them anyway! (Speaking personally here)Hi Helen
:D I am sure these shots are a prime example for you. As you say people probably do feel lost if they take off their glasses as really it is a part of them.
Hopefully I will be able to sort it out in Photoshop I have been trying.
Maybe if you get them to just move the glasses down their nose a tad . The they become angled and not parallel to the camera?? Does that make sense?
Yep it does steely and I hope I remember that the next time I do an event and not get caught up in the moment.
I just have to be patient and tedious and do my best in photoshop to take down the glare.
Try and avoid using the built in flash. 99% of the cases they are good for nothing. Get a flash gun and try to bounce the light off the ceiling or side walls. A diffuser might help also but don’t forget that unfortunately it eats light. Shooting wireless with the flash in your hand, as far away from the camera, might help also. At the end of the day the use of Clone Tool or Patch in Photoshop could fix all these reflections.
