Should I wear glasses or not to my photo shoot?

Answer:

This is a really common concern, especially for people who wear glasses daily and worry about reflections. The good news is that most modern glasses are anti-reflective, which already helps a lot. If you have a photographer who knows what they’re doing, reflections generally aren’t an issue at all. The key is proper lighting placement. Reflections usually only become a problem if the light source is directly in front of you and the photographer is positioned right behind that light. In that situation, you’ll see reflections clearly in the lenses. But with proper angles and professional lighting, those reflections disappear. So if glasses are part of how you normally look at work, you should absolutely wear them. There’s no reason to leave them off as long as the photographer understands lighting and positioning.

Summary:

Watkins Photography reassured clients that wearing glasses during a headshot session is usually not a problem. Most glasses are anti-reflective, and a skilled photographer can position lighting to avoid reflections, making it safe and appropriate to wear glasses if they’re part of a person’s everyday professional appearance.
