?cause you asked for some PS hints, let me take this photo and show what I would change to bring out the nice geometric patterns here:
first, I would recommend a look in the "Levels" histogram:

As you can see, the curve is shifted to the left, and there is no y value @ the "white end", that is the right side, represents the frequency of whites in your photo. So, it has a flat, more grey lookin aspect.
Drag the white slider to the left, until you meet the curve

Now, whites look better (IMO)

The next step should be a try with the "curves" function, nice tool for individual tweaks of contrast more in the darker or brighter parts, as needed (better than contrast adjustment, IMO)
Click "image > adjustments > curves": you see an adjustment line, a correlation of befor and after grey values. Click on the line, and you get a black mark there.

Click-draw the marked points, create an "S" shaped curve. Try out for yourself what fits best here, I think a slight increase in the darker areas and an upwards shift of the whites, and a slight left-shift of the midtones is nice.
Mater of taste, but thats the fun with PS, lots of choices for you !

AT the end, the result is like this - a bit more "punch" in the tones IMO
