1. Split lighting is used to create dramatic effect. It was used often in the early Hollywood days to create more drama on the character.
2. You want the light to be hitting the subject at a 90 degree angle. Your subject must be close to the light source. The light should make a line down the center of their face.

Critique: This was my favorite photo. The lighting style was split lighting. The background we used for this photo was the black background. The first thing my eye was drawn to was the dark side of her face. I really wanted to see if I could see anything. One way we could have improved this photo was if the model was a little closer to the camera so that the subject would only be her face.
