Metallic look on photos. How to ?

[moviemaker]

Good mornign all,

I have been looking at some high contrats photos which look absolutely superb. I have also seen some metallic looking images. Does anyone know how this can be achieved ?

Unfortunately, I don't have examples of such photos, but I hope you kow what I mean.

Kind Regards

Are you talking about the paper used or an effect?

[moviemaker]

Sorry, forget to mention, just the effect, not the paper

Examples would really help, 'cause I don't really know what you are trying to say. May be low key lighting?

Movie.
would this some kind of black and white action that caused some kind of surface shine over the photo?
BTW we are practically neigbours
