Hey guys, say you take a color picture with a dSLR and then want to convert it into black and white so that it looks like this for example.
You know what I mean? The very dark background and the merely gray subject. High contrast. Very a la Anne Geddes. How can I achieve that effect from a regular color picture. How much is the setting and how much is the photoshop? Can it be done just with photoshop and without the physical settings? I don't have a black backdrop if that's what that is.
Here's another example on flickr of a great artist that achieves these great effects.

Any help is surely appreciated
