How to Fix Glare in Passport Photo: Prevention & Removal

• Remove glasses — most countries now require this anyway. See glasses rules.
• Blot skin — use tissue on forehead, nose, and cheeks before shooting.
• Position lights at angles — avoid direct front-facing lights.
• Don't use flash — use natural or diffused light instead.

Minor skin glare can be reduced by slightly lowering brightness/contrast. For glasses glare, retaking without glasses is usually easier and more reliable than editing. If the background has glare hotspots, use Background Changer to replace it entirely.
