1. Take this cap of Prison Break's Amaury Nolasco.

3. Duplicate base and set to Screen 100% opacity.




4. Fill layer with #53BBE1 and set to Saturation 10% opacity.




5. Fill layer with #042D4A and set to Exclusion 100% opacity.

10. Duplicate base and bring to top. Set to Screen 70% opacity.




11. Duplicate base and bring to top. Set to Soft Light 60% opacity.




12. Go to Layer -> New Adjustment Layer -> Brightness/Contrast. Adjust settings like so:
