Wonderful photograph! :) But, erm, please forgive my blatant ignorance, but how do you achieve the effect of a black background? I guess that would be called the backdrop?

yea, just have something black behind the model... that should make it appear black in the photo also. i didnt do anything else.

Really? That's all? What about lighting conditions? Lol, sorry I'm asking so many questions. It's just that I really admire your work and I've done some experimental photography and I have not been able to achieve anywhere near you level of quality. Thank you for responding.

as you can see from the reflection on the ball, theres just one light in frot of her. if you dont want the backdrop to show, dont point a light at it.

Ah, well that makes sense, I suppose. :) I'll remember that next time. Thanks again!
