Hi Peter,
This is a lighting-technique question. I assume you were using EOS gear
to make the photographs :-)
1) Try using a Polarizing Filter (might give a colour cast, though)
2) If you are able, rotate the subject until glare is minimized.
3) Use a black reflector (or an assistant) as a gobo to block glare
4) Combine a black reflector with a tilt-lens on your camera
5) Use strobes or hot lights to overpower the glare
Cheers
Julian Loke
