Use a microfibre cloth or lens cleaner before taking photos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Position your light source<\/strong><br>Place light in front of you at eye level, around 30\u201345 degrees. This reduces reflections on your lenses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Turn off flash<\/strong><br>Flash creates direct glare on lenses. Use natural light or soft indoor lighting instead.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adjust your head angle<\/strong><br>Tilt your chin slightly down or angle your face by a few degrees. Even a small shift can remove reflections.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check reflections before shooting<\/strong><br>Use your phone screen or camera preview to spot glare and adjust your position.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Take multiple shots<\/strong><br>Use burst mode or take several photos to find the most flattering angle and lighting.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>These steps work for both selfies and photos taken by someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Selfie-divider2-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Man in grey hoodie and rectangular glasses taking a selfie outdoors, with cows and green countryside in the background.\" class=\"wp-image-9494\" style=\"width:790px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Selfie-divider2-1024x427.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Selfie-divider2-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Selfie-divider2-768x320.jpg 768w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Selfie-divider2-1536x640.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Selfie-divider2.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1.
