Marty,
The composition is well...provocative... ;) If the subject has a fair complexion and your strobes are too close, you are going to blow the exposure. With such a high contrast subject/background you almost need to do some Zone metering to ensure that you select the proper exposure... Also, more distance between the model and background paper will minimize visible detail in the seamless. Keep shooting!

Thanks Barry! I was looking at these (I have a couple were the skin tone is blown out on this roll) and guessed that the cause was strobes being too close. Thank you for confirming my suspicion. I love this site! :)
Regarding the distance from the background, unfortunately I wasn't able to frame all of her without getting outside of the edges of the background paper so I had to have her move back. And that's with 9' wide paper. Any suggestions?

Well, I just realized I scanned the negative in as a color negative. Here it is scanned as a b&w negative.

Marty, so far I like everything I've seen of your's. I would like to have seen the background brighter. Do you use background paper or muslins? What brand of lighting do you use?

Thank you Mark. This was taken a while back. I use seamless background paper. I would like to try muslin sometime, but I think it's just too expensive. The lighting system I have is a Novatron 400 W/s 3-head Kit.
