I’m curious how he creates such soft lighting with minimal shadows despite the camera being directly overhead. The subjects also appear to be only just above the background… is it just a giant scrim (2x the subjects) with a hole cut for the camera? I feel like it would have to be very low to get the angles but then the camera would be too close for a lens that wouldn’t distort. Or are these composite?

I’m at a loss. Any input would be fantastic.

Feel free to google for other similar examples.
