I have to submit a 3/4 shot of myself

Question

I have to submit a headshot and a picture that is either a full length or 3/4 shot ..how much of your body is a 3/4 shot suppose to show ? .. I know almost the whole thing but where exactly ?

Answer 1

Just above the knees.

General rule: if you include the knees, include the feet.  Likewise, if you include the elbow, include the hand.  

Check it out sometime by doing weird cropping: if you include the elbow and part of the forearm without the hand, looks kinda amputated.
