Shooting People with Glasses

  The Glasses, Goggles, Spectacles are the great fashion accessories for a fashion world, models and photography too. Glasses increase the grace of the people not only for himself or herself but according to photography point of view it changes the people's entire outlook. Which is really a great tool for people photography. But shooting people with the glasses is also a tough job sometimes it really irritates you to shoot when you open the photographs for the post-processing and you notice lots of problems like reflections, scratches, fingerprints, strains, out of focus etc and you have no option left.
