Overview
This style is usually used to tease the appearance of a mystery character. The character is centered and we can see others in front of them between their legs. There are some variations with the person standing off to the side. Other times the person's identity can be seen.
There are variations where the the character in the center is facing the viewer but the true Between the Legs Shot images show them with their backs to us.
