In Profile.

Yes, online "profiles" do confuse the issue. However, it’s a nice look at language evolution if you think about how an online "profile" is a quick "outline" of the person.
It comes from the practice of creating outlines by projecting the shadow of the figure and tracing the outline on paper, and in the majority of cases the person was positioned so that the nose, lips and forehead were visible.
