Analyze the attached image in extreme detail. Break down every visible element from small background lights and props to camera placement, lighting direction, and overall scene composition and visualize a realistic behind-the-scenes (BTS) setup showing how this shot was created. Identify the camera body, lens type, camera settings (ISO, aperture, shutter speed), backdrop, and all lighting used (key light, fill light, back drop light, back/rim lights, softboxes, practical lights, etc.).
Generate a labeled behind-the-scenes image that clearly shows the full setup, including camera position, light placement, modifiers, and distances props lights and anything related Do NOT ignore or generalize any lights placed behind props or plants. Treat these as separate background uplights and analyze them independently from rim or back lights.
