This is very good. To have black target in a hikey is about as difficult as it gets and this is really good. The only thing that I would still trim is the spill on her cheek/chin. Otherwise - I mean this may look easy, but I know it isn't. To work with hikey is sometimes so frustrating because of the spills. This is super.

Tjenare!

Thank you very much, the session after this I came to the conclusion that it is a good idea to extinguish all flash and turn on one by one to see if you get light spill from the background lightning :)

The often referred practice is to overlit the bg by 2-3 stops. You have to have at least 2 but more may create spillage. I guess you should have as much overlite at bg as possible but not spillage - crazy. Often it helps to have two black screens on both sides of the model to kill the side hilites/contour spillage. But to be honest, I've read and heard all these pieces of instructions but I've never managed to get a spot on perfect hikey. It is so delicate to get it right. Lowkey is bloody much easier than hikey.
