Casting shadows

Is there away to stop props in my scenes from casting shadows in Iray?

Not in Photoreal mode - shadows are optional in Interactive, but that removes a lot of other features too. One way to fake it would eb to render out an HDRI and then use that as an environment map with no ground on, so no shadows - but that wouldn't stop self-shadowing.
