Then I selected the rectangle marquee tool and selected the area around the model.

First I selected the background layer

Duplicate layer 2

Now fill in the mask with a black fill tool.

Now select layer 2 and create a mask using this button. NOW REPEAT THIS LAST STEP AGAIN WITH YOUR LAYER 2 COPY

Use free transform to drag your layer 2 and increase the edges and sizes, this part determines the size of the effect

Select blending options and select drop shadow tool and select the level of opacity that works for you. Then just make all your layers visible again. I changed the colour of my background and went for a darker colour which I prefer.
