The camera is set to expose for the amount of light coming from the flash. So the parts of the frame that are outside of the flash are underexposed (dark). That is why he has the tube that is directing all of the light on the model and not on the background. She is ultra bright to the camera and the wall is too dark for the camera to properly record.
RollOff1982: It’s about flash to subject and background distance. Try to have subject and model close and the wall further away. That should help.
get a external flash, to work in ttl mode get a wireless transmitter
@ bertstephani – what transmitter you use 10x
Boring
@RollOff1982
you can underexpose the background by a few stops and/or whilst keeping your subject fully exposed with the flashgun

Thank you for your response and info. I really appreciate it. thanks.
Bert, quick question; do you shoot in aperture priority? or do you run back and forth to your flash to adjust manually?
get the 70-200 2.8. If you are shooting Canon, the 70-200 f4 is also a good quality lense from Canon. But the 2.8 is a clear value. Remember that lense are way more important then the camera itself and they will outlast any camera you own if you take care of them.
Bert, when you shoot models, do you mostly shoot in the 70-200 range? the reason I ask is because my wallet is tight at the moment and having said that, therefore I have to choose between a Tamron 18-270mm lens or the Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
amazing…just like that!!!
Good pic’s, you have the same camera as a photographer who i knows ( im a hobby model to, for fun)
nice!
If u want a perfect picture u have to use dpp & photoshop or something like that…
hahahaha
“It took practice to see these backgrounds while still being able to hold the camera”
Nice
i hate photos that are edited! these sort of effect you can do using photoshop alone! its not really pure photography..
i’m sure they are
how about the exposures? or white balance? did you change it on ur camera?
these pictures post editeD?
output of the flash and Photoshop

He’s only exposing for the skin tones. Using a flash without the diifuser.
this will cause the background to remain underexposed. Notice he’s also shooting the model standing in the shade. My insticncts tell me he is probably setting the camera to – 1 stop on the exposure compensation.
I agree with him about photoshop. Do it right the first time and you dont need to fix what should have been done in the first place. Photoshop is often used as band-aide for poor workmanship.
Didnt he say in one of his videos that he really isnt a fan of photoshopping and that he prefers to get the image right the first time? After he said something like that I assumed that he either does very light touches or nothing at all since he seems to get that great contrast look everytime.
