Re: How do I make create total pitch black background ?

First, lower your exposure little by little until the background is as black as you want it.

Then, add light to your subject little by little until they're exposed the way you want them to be.

You'll need a lot of flash power if your background isn't black already. You'll also need to control the light if the space is small, otherwise the light will spill into your background.
