To get it all it sounds to me that you would have to print the right
half on a low contrast grade and the left on high contrast (assuming
that it is underexposed that side). Awkward to do.

Alternatively, just print darker and hold the faces back just enough to
show modelling. I think the picture would look better that way anyway.
