My "studio" consisted of a kitchen counter with recessed lighting above....and one of those little halogen lamps with the flexible necks from behind. I took the image into PS. Then I copied the background layer and used the unsharp mask filter, changing the blending mode to luminosity and the layer opacity down to 50%. An adjustment layer for saturation to boost the colors a bit. And another background layer to play with lighting effects, which may be why the shadows are confusing you...I added a directional light from the lower left corner to brighten that end up somewhat because I felt it was too dark. PS...I was really lazy and just tossed these babies around, didn't bother sorting out text and stuff. I could try.....just that I know I'll never be able to duplicate this image exactly again.

I am, therefore I create.......
