How would I achieve this "look" in a photograph?

First thing, these were obviously shot on film. If you want this look, get a 35mm camera, and shoot a B&W film that just crushes blacks, like Kodak's BW400CN or Ilford's XP2.

BW400CN and XP2 are both C-41 films, not true black and white. If you're going to give snide comments, don't call C-41 film black and white, especially in a film forum

If it looks like a duck, gets cooked like a duck,

This look can definitely be achieved by playing around with adjustments in Adobe Photoshop.
