System.Photo.Orientation
The orientation of the photo when it was taken, as specified in the Exchangeable Image File (EXIF) information and in terms of rows and columns. This allows applications and the Shell to properly orient the image, instead of orienting the pixels and persisting the image in the requested display orientation, which can result in a loss of fidelity. This property is not meant to be displayed in the UI.
