Hello all,

I would like some help on how to achieve the effect applied on the famous poster "Armin Hofmann Giselle" ballerina

Thanks.
 
Hmmm... high-speed B/W film, theatrical stage lighting, and a spinning ballerina...

in PS... process a B/W image with lots of contrast, and add grain/noise... selectively take things to black...
stage lighting will be the most difficult to reproduce, unless you start with a stage lit image...
 
That's not an applied effect as far as I can see. Done in 1959 it's probably a result of "pushed" 400 ASA (ISO) analog film, maybe even transferred to high contrast Lithfilm before printing. Smalltrees suggestions are most probably the way to go here.
