Use portable lighting and shoot at f22 to f32 and everything in frame will be in focus and tact sharp, even the background.

No secret.

1. Set your aperture at f22 - f32 You must be the exact focal distance from your subject per lens spec.
2. Set your shutter speed to 250 or higher
3. Set your portable strobes to the match your f/stop must be f22 or higher to f32
4. Photoshop the models crotch to look smooth and perfect, clone and heal. Very simple.

I used to shoot like exactly this back in 2000 until I realized the back grounds tend to distract the viewers eyes from the subject.
If it is so easy why only few shoot in this style which looks amazing? And yes thats the unique selling point of his content - backgrounds. Thats why he scouts the world for good locations.
