Reduce reflections in glasses for photobooth pictures

Use a controlled comparison

Make a test portrait with the light and camera in their planned positions. Change the light’s height or lateral position slightly and take another picture. Compare the saved frames for reflections. These are our practical setup suggestions, not a promise that one angle solves every lens coating and lighting arrangement.

Move one thing at a time

Keep the sitter comfortable and change the light before repeatedly asking them to tilt their head. A minor movement can improve one eye while placing a reflection over the other. Test both a neutral pose and the planned turning gesture. Nikon’s general portrait guidance supports treating lighting and exposure as part of the setup.

Check the final scale

View the strip at its expected print or sharing size. A reflection that looks minor on a large screen may obscure an eye in a small frame. If the setup cannot remove it, choose the clearer take instead of painting a new eye into the photograph. Keep the original capture alongside any edited version.
