Unless you are looking for a monster look you do not want red-eyes in your images. If you follow the tip below you will have better success with this well known issues.
- If possible, don’t use a flash
Natural light would be best if possible, but if you have to use a flash try to opt for an external flash as it can be manipulated to allow you to bounce light away from the subject's eyes. You can also try to diffuse the light by using wax paper or a tissue. - Don't shoot straight on
Taking photos straight on is the worst because the flash has more eye coverage. If you tilt the subject's head slightly it will reduce the flash coverage on the eyes. - You can always turn on the Red-Eye Reduction feature on the camera
What this feature does is it will trigger several pre-flashes that will constrict the eyes before the big flash. This give you a ready subject because the pre-flashes exposes the eye to the light. This feature may also slow the camera's shutter speed so if you are taking pictures of moving subjects do not use this feature. - Final you can remove those eye in post processing software
If not else works you can always rely on a post processing software or take the photos to a developing station. There are red-eye removal tools in these softwares that will auto detect the red eyes and remove them.
