     If you use a DSLR camera or whatever camera, photography is completely two demotions art. We cannot make 3 detentions photographs in the same way. However, the model’s chin arrangement is an unforgettable part of photography posing. Because it is part of the face. When your chin keeps backward, your face direction goes down.
