the original shot was probably taken in a studio that way the photographer had complete control of all the lighting aspects of the shot.
if you get the light right, you can achieve effects like the stapler without using photoshop, it just depends on the talent and skill of the photographer and the what kind of conditions he/she was using while taking the shot.
