ABOUT:
Split Lighting Setup for this portrait. Split lighting at its most basic level is constructed with a single light source placed 90 degrees offset from the subject and a bit higher than eye level, lighting one half of the face, and leaving the other in shadow.
The thing that distinguishes Split Lighting from Short or Broad lighting is the placement of the subject’s head- Split Lighting is usually taken with the subject facing square to the camera.
