I saw this image of a toy online and have been wondering how I can photograph an object so it is in shadow but against a pure white background like this. According to the exif, the photo was shot with f/20, ISO 100 and exposure time is 30 sec. How was the lighting set up in this situation?

\$\begingroup\$ Do you mean "white background where the object is not well lit from the front"? \$\endgroup\$– mattdmJul 5, 2015 at 15:01

It's probably on a still life table and backlit. Looks like either a LED or fluorescent softbox as the main source.
