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.

So, what you mean is, I will need to get myself a external flash ? Because if I use my built in flash, it lights up pretty much the subject as well as the surrounding environment.
