Reflections in clear glasses and sunglasses can be great or terrible depending on what look you want to achieve. With studio flash lighting you have control of many elements and following Gavin Hoey’s simple tips in this episode of Take and Make Great Photography, you can also have complete control of reflections.

Of course you might want to remove small reflections with Photoshop, but you can also add them in. In the second part of the video Gavin shows you how to add fake reflections to create a real eye catching photo.
