                   or use the Cutout Filter

Instructions

Be sure your photo is high contrast. That means strong shadows and highlights.

Black and white is best, but if not, we can convert it to black and white.

Be sure the photo is high resolution. 

http://stevecampbellhillwood.blogspot.com/2015/12/placing-photos-in-photoshop.html

Create a Photoshop document and place the photo in it. 

http://stevecampbellhillwood.blogspot.com/2015/12/placing-photos-in-photoshop.html

Go to Layer>Rasterize>Layer or Smart Object.

Important: Make a copy of this layer by pressing Command+J.

Go to Filter>Artistic>Cutout

In the Cutout window, play with combinations of Number of Levels, Edge Simplicity and Edge Fidelity until you get what you like. Sometimes this effect is even better if you Save, click on Filters>Artistic>Cutout again and keep the same settings.

Fill in colors with the Paint Bucket Tool. 

http://stevecampbellhillwood.blogspot.com/2015/12/photoshop-tools-explained.html

If you don't see the Tool Palette, layers, etc……

http://stevecampbellhillwood.blogspot.com/2015/12/if-you-dont-see-tools-layers-etc.html

Your art will look best if you stick to one color for each Number of Levels you chose in the Cutout window. If you  have 4 levels,  just use 4 colors, one for each level. This example is 6 levels, edge simplicity 3, edge fidelity 1. 

If you are not getting color when you use the Paint Bucket, go to Image>Mode>RGB Color

Color the photo using the Paint Bucket.

When you get something you really like, go to File>Save or press Command+J again. You now have a new layer, and you can always go back to the earlier one.

Zoom in and out with the Zoom Tool, or, even better, go Window>Navigator.

If you make a mistake, go to Edit>Undo or go to Window>History and click back up toward the top of the window until you get back where you want. You can go back to the last 20 steps.
