Thanks Ortega, Rey and Magixshoe. Totally agree with your comments about the negative background and the shadows.

Using a reverse lens set up at 5 cm away from the subject. Tried many methods, even using 2 flashes (one mounted on camera and one slave flash on bracket), but couldn't get any shots without the shadow.

Try using a ring flash. Fantastic effects, with mild shadow or no shadow.
