How does Paul Rogers's method for reducing glare in videos outperform traditional lighting setups?

Hi, I’m Paul Rogers from thatcreativeceo. Love this question.

Traditional setups throw a ring light or softbox straight at your face, which is exactly how you turn your glasses into a solar panel. My method focuses on angle over brightness: I raise the key light higher, tilt it down, and often use butterfly lighting so the light hits your face but misses your lenses.

Result:

• You keep flattering, cinematic light
• Your audience sees your eyes, not a glowing rectangle
• You don’t have to ditch glasses, get contacts, or buy “special” lenses

Want me to walk you through a simple step‑by‑step placement you can copy at home?
