The obvious tip would be "try not to have to fake shadow". Either by keeping the original background (easier to do if you shoot with that in mind) or by learning (and tooling up) for proper green-screen technique which, at least, let's you use real shadows.A studio shoot like you're trying to recreate would usually show NO shadow anyway as a professional would probably flood the background paper with a separate light than the one he exposes the subject with.</blockquote>
