it makes sense to me but is not necessarily a common way to say it. you might say he wanted her to show more cleavage, for example

@rstyner Thanks for your answer. In Chinese we have a specific word to mean the northern half of a woman’s breast. So in English I should just use “cleavage”?
- English (US)
yes, I understand what Northern half means but it is not a common way to say that. it would be more common to say upper half of her breasts or the tops of her breasts.
which you use depends on context. if a woman is wearing a low-cut blouse, they are showing more cleavage.

@rstyner Thank you. So I can say:
1. The photographer wanted her to show the upper half of her breasts.
2. The photographer wanted her to show the tops of her breasts.
Both sound natural to you?
1. The photographer wanted her to show the upper half of her breasts.
