Lighting

The lighting for this image was quite easy. I only used two lights: a V-Ray light with a direct light and an HDRi.

For the sky I used a V-Ray HDRi and I put it in the V-Ray dome light map slot, and inside environment map slot. The main light was the direct light.

Camera

A V-Ray physical camera was my choice for this image.

Rendering

I made a lot of test renders before reaching the final render. For this I used V-Ray RT, which is a very useful test rendering engine because it gives you a fast render and allows you to see everything and change anything. I started off using low values in the render properties and once I’d checked everything was okay, I increased the values.

I’d also recommend that you use Render Elements, as it’s a powerful tool in your hands!
