Use a sharp lens, shoot raw, expose the file right (overexpose but don't clip), run your usual global tonal adjustments (levels, curves, etc.) all the usual stuff when shooting digital.
Convert it to monochrome with Channel Mixer (Google it, you'll see), do some local contrast enhancement (") with USM, sharpen it with high pass sharpening ("), apply liberal use of dodge and burn as needed.
Two things about the last one: do all your dodging and burning in layers like this:
Layer > New layer > Mode to Soft Light > check the fill with neutral color box.
Besides giving you the ability to see it with the effect on and off and to adjust the opacity afterwards, it just comes out better. Don't know why, it's just a trick I heard third-or-more-hand. Do all your dodging and all your burning in two or more (or more, e.g. one for dodging a cheek, another for dodging a shoulder, another for burning a nose, etc) separate layers to get the most benefit out of the flexibility.
Also, lightly burning the highlights in out of focus backgrounds often adds to the file, and I think it may've been done in the OP file.
