Why do you have to squat when taking pictures with a SLR camera? The effect is very good.
If you shoot a full-length portrait with a wide-angle lens at close range, the photographer can have the effect of "long legs". The camera position is in the middle level of the subject's body, and the proportion of the human body will be normal. But it doesn't matter if the telephoto lens is 5 meters away from the main body.
