anytime i take a picture of someone wearing sunglasses i always get my reflection or the flash in the glasses
what is a way around this?

If you're talking about shooting models - Have them push the glasses down their nose just a bit and look over the top of the glasses. Getting above them makes it not so obvious that you're doing that. I shoot LOTS of content with glasses on, and that always works.

I think there's a spray you can buy too that makes them not reflect light, but I haven't looked into it because the trick above is fool proof.

I get my reflection in all sorts of shit. Who really cares though? Look at the cover of GQ or Cosmopolitan Magazine. There's reflections in all of the models eyes that show their exact lighting setup. It doesn't bother those photographers.
