I think that if you make an object's bounding box not surround the object,
then it will not show up in the image. For that object to have shadows, you
need to have the bounding box in between the object and the light. but not
in between the camera and the light.

I remember a long time ago people doing "vampire" objects (which do not have
an image in a mirror) by this method.
