Though I’m a strong proponent of constantly searching for unique and overlooked shooting angles, sometimes simply shooting a model eye-to-eye will produce great results.
In this shot, the model is lying on a bed with her body nearly straight-on to the camera. I say, “nearly”, because the fact that she is not entirely straight-on is the key to this type of shot. If she were truly facing the camera straight-on, her lower back and thighs would not be visible. The slight adjustment makes a world of difference. Multiplying the effectiveness of seeing her lower body is the fact that she has also bent her left leg just enough for her left hip to come up off the bed and create an attractive curve to the leg.
