Senior Portrait Tips: Glasses!

Saturday, February 6, 2010

I wear glasses, Christina wears glasses, but lets be real, not all people can be as cool as the glass wearing population.

We are so cool, in fact that often times our specially made lens’ (made to deflect the fact that we are incredibly blind), distort our eyes in photographs. Who would have thought that after that $1000 bill we would have such a complimentary problem?

Here is the scoop… if you have minor vision issues…

EASY PEASY! Wear them as is… assuming they don’t/aren’t tinted.

If you have vision like the amazing Christina Sloan or her many wonderful blind friends, you may wish to have your lens removed (or ask your optometrist for a pair of empty frames to wear for your portrait session) and wear an alternate pair of eye wear to enable you to tie your shoes accurately.

If you own the spunky, funky lens’ that change color or are inherently tinted (in any color) you certainly need to have them removed. Regardless of your vision, the correction of tint is virtually impossible.
