cowboy_shot
An image framed to show a character from the thighs up, including their face. The character's legs should cut off at the bottom of the image; typically around thigh level, but can be as low as at/right above the knees.
Named after Western movies, where actors were filmed from the thighs up to show the character's holstered gun along with their face.
