Start with a silhouette.
Your silhouette photo should be high contrast with just a little bit of detail showing through.

All you need are two photos, three layers and four steps.
-
-
Add a fill image.
Select another photo — landscapes work well — and make it a new layer above the silhouette layer.
-
Blend the layers.
Select the fill image layer and set its Blend Mode to Screen.
-
Adjust if necessary.
To finesse the shadows, highlights, and midpoint, create a Levels Adjustment Layer. Double-tap it and move the sliders to see how it affects the details in the silhouette.
