Studio Portrait

Split Light — AI Studio Lighting filter

Bold half-lit face, dramatic contrast.

Split lighting: exactly half the face lit, the other half in shadow, divided down the middle. It's the boldest statement in classical portraiture — used for boxers, CEOs in profile pieces, and album covers about duality. This filter imposes that hard geometry on your photo, turning ambient snapshots into something deliberate and severe. Few lighting setups communicate intensity this efficiently; none do it with one light.
