In the burgundy one she looks 3 dimensional. How are the lights placed for that one?

And in the black one you cannot see the background at all yet the models are well lit. Are they cut out and put on a black background or is that lighting and how is it done so there is no reflection etc on the background?

Is it possible to duplicate these with an entry level camera and two lights? I have zero experience but need to duplicate that style. Any links to examples of how it is done would be appreciated too! I just like this style where all you see is the model and no background and the ones with the background look 3 dimensional.

Thanks!
