Hi franco and welcome to PSG.

The first thing you need to do is to remove the white background from your photo. We will call this layer 1.



Then you have to add it back again except on it's own separate llayer.
So create a new layer below the layer you removed the white background and fill it with white.

Then you double click layer 1 to open a layer style.
Select the drop shadow and adjust to your liking.
