full shot
Head to toe
A full shot is a camera framing that shows a person's entire body from head to toe, with minimal space above and below.
In film and photography, it establishes a subject's physical presence, costume, and movement within the scene: The director called for a full shot to capture the dancer's footwork.
Also called a wide shot or long shot, though these terms have subtle distinctions in professional usage.
