Tommy,

To save you a ton of grief, you are best off just re-shooting your brother with similar lighting. Depending on the differences, you could spend weeks trying to create the exact effect in PS. One thought, however, if the direction of the light is just the opposite, you can flop the image of your brother, to make the light appear to come from the other side. You just have to assume that his face is symetrical. If he has on clothing with a logo, just flop the head and do touchup work, placing most of the body behind another subject in the photograph.
