Its a shame you didn't tell us what sort of camera you have!. It would be easiest with a DSLR, but I'll assume you have a little P&S!.

Prepare a light (like a clip-on desk lamp) with a snoot (that's some sort of cylinder that concentrates the light and stops it from spreading!. Black card board would be fine for this)!.

In a dark room, put the camera on a tripod and get a helper or use the self timer!.
Play with the position of the "spot light" - try from the side, from below, or perhaps even from behind you so your face is barely lit up!.
If you want to go even further, turn on a fog machine!.

If you're not familiar with your camera, you might want to read your manual so you can use backlighting, exposure compensation, motion blur and whatever else comes to mind as you experiment!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
