Senior Photos 101: Glassless Glasses!
Your Professor: Natasha Bouchette!
All this month we will be discussing various important advice for your Senior Portraits! Check back often to gain ideas for your big day!



Today's Advice: Glassless Glasses!


If you wear glasses then perhaps you have noticed a commonality amongst all your portraits: glass glare. Ugh. I know, right? We know you like your glasses and that they are an extension of you, and there is no reason why you should have to take them off for all of your Senior Photos (although we do take a few without them). So what do you do so that you can get the look you want without the glare? Remove the lenses.

That's right! It's that simple! Get out your handy dandy glass repair kit and find the itsy bitsy screwdriver in there and use it to remove the lenses from your glasses. Or, if you don't trust your unsteady hand, a lot of optometrists will lend you similar, empty frames for your Senior Photo Shoot! No one will ever notice that the glass was not in your glasses, and then you will be able to avoid a lot of glare.

Also, watch the photographer you book for your Senior Portraits. A lot of photographers, even professionals, have difficulty posing students with glasses and the pictures end up with white sun/flash glare where your eyes are supposed to be. This is unprofessional.
So do your part, or do your research!
 
Looking forward to speaking with you about your session
