My dad is in a band and did the exact same thing!. This is a lighting issue not a photo editing issue!. When you take the photo you have to have the light on one side of their face and the dark on the other!. You could do it in a photo program but it wont look as real as if you did it in real life!.

Easy studio shot!.

A bank light to the right of the subject and a black reflector on the left!. Place the subjects so they are placed about five or six feet in front of a black background with no light spilling on it!. Use an incident light meter and shoot!. No muss, no fuss!. All done in the camera !.!.!. just like the old days!.
