profile shot
Face from beside
A profile shot is a photograph or image capturing someone's face from the side, showing the outline of forehead, nose, lips, and chin.
The term comes from photography and film, where profile shots emphasize facial contours and silhouette: The director chose a profile shot to highlight her distinctive nose.
Mugshots typically include both a frontal view and a profile shot.
