I went for an on-stage look
I used the quick selection tool and selected the person and copied twice to new layers.
On the first layer, I applied lighting effect RGB (under filters>render>lighting effects). I then lightened shadows until the face was more visible.
On the second layer, I desaturated, then used levels to turn it to a black silhouette. I applied gaussian blur and reduced opacity until it looked like a shadow, then positioned it a bit to the side.
On the original layer, I applied a textured background from photoshop, then applied the lighting effect RGB to create a spotlight effect.
