You may have photographed someone wearing glasses while using a flash. This can cause ugly reflections of the flash in the lenses. How do you prevent this?

Knowing that light reflects like a billiard ball, with the angle of incidence equal to the angle of reflection, you can prevent reflections in glasses.

The best solution is therefore to have the light come from the side. The reflection of the flash in the lenses will then not bounce towards your camera, but towards the other side.

The same trick also works vertically. You can also place your flash a little higher to prevent the reflection.

This is how you can easily prevent an annoying reflection. That is much easier than trying to remove such a reflection in Photoshop.
