Advice on how to achieve this effect

[Joe1234567]

Hi all,
Saw an image the other day which I thought looked really cool. Looks like the original photo has had some sort of effect applied to it. Wondered if any of you had done anything like this before or had any advice on how to achieve a similar effect?
cheers

The effect is called Low poly effect.
basically you just draw triangular or whatever shapes you want with pen tool and fill them with flat solid colors.
There are many tools available to do this automatically, but images generated with tools looks awful .
manual work gives best effect.
