I got the idea of making this post after seeing this thread, where the user shows 3 images of their side:
Image 1:
Image 2:
Image 3:
As you can clearly see, the user's facial depth decreases as he turns his head away from the camera. Let's measure his fDHR(facial depth to height ratio) to confirm this, though:
In image one, his apparent fDHR is roughly 1.23.
In image two, his apparent fDHR is roughly 1.05.
In image three, his apparent fDHR is roughly 0,96.
We can clearly see a steep drop off in fDHR the further he turns his head away from the camera. This makes sense, logically his midface is further away from the camera than the rest of his face so it appears smaller when he turns his head away. Now, this user's facial depth isn't that bad, but if he went off the first picture he'd think that he has some sort of model tier overprojected maxilla, which is not the case.
The important thing that I wanted to mention though, is the fact that most people take pictures like this without realizing it and then think that their facial depth is good when it in reality isn't. I've seen a lot of side profile "transformations" where the person literally just turns their head towards the camera increasing perceived facial depth and then normies who can't tell that it's just angles think that that person had an insane transformation when there was in reality no change.
What you should take away from this is that when you take a picture of your side profile, make sure it's a TRUE side profile, not a frauded 3/4th profile.
