   Some people, taking pictures, often turn the left side of the face to the lens, considering it more photogenic, others - the right.

The right side of the body is controlled by the left hemisphere of the brain, responsible for thinking, analysis and synthesis, and the left side is controlled by the right, responsible for emotions. Hence the desire to demonstrate your work side.
