What's the name of this photography technique? There is a shadow on the face.

Portraits with sidelights will leave deep and long shadows on their faces, and most people will classify such photos as more cinematic.

However, the sidelight of this photo comes from a high angle, which can be seen from the shadow. It is different from the general lighting technology which is as high as the subject's face. Traditional technology can only see half a face.
