Common camera framing

Side profileRearWide / full body

Description: Both partners standing: the receiving partner bends forward at the hips while the penetrating partner enters from behind. The standing member of the rear-entry family.

Variations: Hands braced on knees, a wall, or the floor; depth of the bend varies the angle.

On camera: Full-length side profile is the standard framing; works in location shoots where no furniture is available.

AI design considerations: A hinged figure (~90° at the hips) with an upright figure registered behind; the hip fold is the defining geometry.
