Just photograph everyone again with your own method.
Sounds silly but probably the best solution.

Yeah, this is 'shopped... probably using Exposure & Shadow/Highlight controls. Looks like he was overexposed initially.
Don't know what kind of kit you have, but if you've got at least one decent sized umbrella and strobe, use the reflective side and spread the light as much as possible. Find/create the most color free backdrop you can, move subject just far enough away from backdrop to avoid shadow. If you have another light, throw against your backdrop.
Shoot it RAW so you'll have the most control over the image in PS.

i was able to pull it off reasonably close in PS, but it was a pain in the ass, at the scale you posted it was pretty easy to replicate but on a larger scale i think it would be much harder and much more time consuming i had 12 layers of levels adjustments and overlays all manually erased..sort of reverse dodge and burning. that was from a standard lit photo, one with a hair light would have been easier.

there is someone in the show some recent work thread that can help you

That's the example you going by?
I'm no expert, but the face looks waaay overexposed! I think they used one light (subject) and maybe one for the bg. Try using one light left of camera, something to bounce on the right so that shadows are not that strong and one for bg. Like I said, I'm no expert, but that's how I would do it... ;)
- oh, and if you have an extra, use it as hairlight ;)OSFA

The original shoot there were 2 of those umbrella light thingies, with a spotlight on the face. The overexposed face was intentional. I think the general consensus here is that if you have no knowledge of lighting techniques, it won't work and most likely it can't be replicated using only Photoshop :/

I mean I have enough knowledge of Photoshop (been using it 10yrs+) to creat high-contrast over-exposed images, but not in the same way as is done here. The new image has to sit alongside the others and look part of the same series.

now, do you need help on how to get chicks to pose naked for you? ;)

looks like a umbrella/speedlite to the left close, and one to the right a little further away.
also looks like it's been adjust heavily in PS to get that high contrast/over exposed look.
just shoot them all and run them through lightroom or bridge RAW processor and adjust the exposure.

looks posterized to me

a couple of 45º lights and a bit of the ol' multiply blending mode should do the trick tbh
this looks like mainly post to me
