Dating Photos With Glasses: Tips and Tricks
Glasses are a style asset, not a problem
Glasses add character to your face and can be genuinely attractive. The challenge is not the glasses themselves but the glare and reflections that can make photos look awkward. With the right technique, glasses enhance your photos.
Be consistent. If you wear glasses every day, your dating photos should include glasses. Taking them off for photos creates a disconnect when you meet in person. Show people what they will actually see on a first date.
Eliminating glare in photos
The biggest issue with glasses in photos is lens glare. To avoid it, do not face directly toward a light source. Position yourself at a slight angle to windows and lights. Outdoor photos in shade produce clean, glare-free results almost every time.
If you still get glare, slightly tilting your chin down or angling your head can help. Anti-reflective coating on your lenses makes a huge difference for photos. Dateup can also help reduce glare in post-processing to give you clean, clear photos.

Make sure your frames suit your face shape. Glasses that fit well frame your eyes and enhance your features. If your current frames are outdated, consider updating them before taking profile photos.
Include at least one photo without glasses if you sometimes wear contacts, just to add variety. But your main photos should feature glasses since that is how you usually look. Well-chosen frames are a style statement that can make your profile more memorable.
