De perfil

De perfil is a Spanish phrase that literally translates to "in profile" or "from the side." It is commonly used in several contexts:

• Photography and Art: Describing a subject (person, animal, or object) depicted as viewed from the side. This highlights the contours and shape of the subject's face, body, or form. A "retrato de perfil" is a profile portrait.

• Descriptive Language: Used to indicate that something is being presented or considered from a particular, often limited, perspective. For example, one might say "Analizamos el problema de perfil," meaning "We analyzed the problem from a particular angle/perspective."

• Figurative Language: To suggest a low-key or unobtrusive approach. For instance, "Mantenerse de perfil" might suggest staying out of the limelight, avoiding attention, or keeping a low profile.

• Technical Contexts: In engineering or technical drawings, "de perfil" can refer to a side view or cross-section.
