Perhaps. Although it can be done in rendering as well if you shoot RAW. You just want to pull down the midrange and shadows. I would shoot some sample shots of a willing subject and experiment with exposure and conversion until you get the look you want. Of course, getting that all the time isn't easy, because the camera will move the exposure around a bit. You have to know how to turn the knobs to compensate. That requires practice and study.
