So, here's how I did it. That scene is simply the delicious Miss Stephanie Ashe, no clothing (obviously), and two planes. No HDRI, no spotlight. The floor was set at matte as I could get it, Glossy Reflectivity .10, Glossy Roughness .90. All it had to do was catch shadows. The wall (I hope you can see it) was turned into a light emitter. It's set at an astonishingly low illumination level, a mere 50 kcd/m^2. Normally, a light at that low a setting wouldn't illuminate a darn thing. But behind the subject, right in the camera lens, it's all that's needed. The sheer size of the light (as opposed to the relatively tiny dimensions of a spotlight) does the work. Environment was set to Scene Only. I found out that if the light emitting wall is set any higher, Stephanie showed up too much. Even
