Thanks Drew and Christopher and Craig and everyone!
I use a piece of black cardboard to create the desired light/shadow effect. To generate a Spotlight effect, I cut an hole in the cardboard and hold the cardboard over the photoobject that it is lighted up just enough. The rest of the picture thereby looks very dark. To strengthen the effect something else you can put the aperture (F) around ½ lower then normal or also shorten the exposure time just a little.
