I want to make this kind of poster with this effect over my picture. How can I do this?

How these faces are shiny and look attractive? (Rush 2013 Movie Poster)

Dodge and burn babyimp:

1. Good lighting;

2. Good photography;

3. ONLY THEN post processing such as compositing, dodge and burn, maybe a bit of Draganizing using something like Topaz Adjust.

HTH,

ok. But how to create that light effect.. Like the left side light effect on hair and the right side hair of CHRIS HEMSWORTH.

[moinboss]

People spend years developing reasonable photographic lighting chops and need lots of equipment to get close to the look referred to in the first post, so don't expect miracles from iPhone quality snaps and a magic button push in some PS plugin.

The following diagram will give you an idea of the sort complexity of the lighting setup that was likely used:

The above was slanted towards 3D CGI, but is equally applicable to real world photography. In addition to the lights show in that sketch, for the photo you are interested in, they likely used gridded spots above the rim lights aimed at the hair. To control fill, the also likely used "flags", big black panels or screens to suck up light where they don't want it.

My guess is that each of the characters was photographed separately (but likely at the same studio with very similar lighting setups), and then composited in post.

If you are seriously interested, Google something like {tutorial advanced photographic lighting}.
