I tried to replicate the face from the cover of the Edgar Allan Poe story "Red Death". I used a simple laser pointer, with a black backdrop and a black hoodie.

Cropping out (not all) some of the blackness to the left of the face would bring more attention to the face itself. It would also disrupt the balance of 50%black, 50%with light, which tends to make the eye focus more on the art piece.
