side profile
Face from sideways
A side profile is the outline or contour of something viewed from the side, especially a person's face seen in profile rather than head-on: She has a striking side profile.
The term is slightly redundant—profile alone typically means a side view—but side profile emphasizes the lateral angle and is common in discussions of photography, portraiture, and facial features.
