Hey guys, newb here. as you can see i’m getting 2 shadows.

[123] Cycles render. If you look at the photo, you can see two shadows. One is caused by lighting, and one is shadow caused by environmental lighting HDRI. I want to remove the shadow of the environmental lighting HDRI without splitting the layer.
