Anonymous File :-(, x)
for the photo in the op, all they did was expose for the flash so that it underexposed the natural light outside, there was probably very little proccessing on it, however for 300, heres a fairly simple way to recreate it in photoshop
Get your first layer, make a blank on top of it and fill it with 70% opacity black, erase the black over brighter areas of the face. Dupe the face layer and apply an unsharp mask(I dont remember the specific numbers) so that it becomes extremely contrasty, you will probably get really big halos around things, you can erase these if you want, or leave them. Then on this same layer apply a smart sharpen filter (again I dont know the numbers) that sharpens only tiny details, this gives a ton of micro-contrast, making every wrinkle/pimple/hair stand out. Next go into the color/saturation dialog and desaturate the colors one by one(no all at once, but blues, then greens, etc) and play around until you have a desaturated image with maybe one or two colors still popping out. Finally if you feel like it dodge and burn to give even more localized contrast.
