Yea I agree. Practice, talent and Little trick too.
Trial and error practice and practice.
but most of the stuff can be done in PS.
my 2 cents
There’s a better tutorial out there for this HDR kind of look but this is the first one that came up when I googled.

Those are some beautiful photos…and thats an interesting article Suiside360
Good lighting is going to be key for shots like those. Start looking at info from Scott Kelby, http://strobist.blogspot.com/, and related sites. And be prepared to spend a little bit.
You could put your person on a green screen, light it however you want, and use an HDR landscape background.
That’s what it looks like he’s done for some (including the photo you linked to) pictures on his site.
Although mlk just awakened me to strobe photography. 
That maybe what he’s done as you suggest for some examples - but absolutely, utterly and certainly not in the quoted one.
Well crap. I’m trying to figure out a way to do this without having to be super talented at photography.

Yes, I agree with this train of thought. Seems likely that at least 4 images were used to composite the scene using Photoshop and the lighting placement was all done post composite to pull it all together. I doubt it would have even really been necessary to use an HDR image given the right set of PS skills to draw from.
That’s something beyond me.
