Background lesson #2 problem need to be solved :(

[Theodore Chorianopoulos]

Greetings to you all, I’m very happy to be part of this community and learn as much as I can on this journey. OK… lets move now…
I’m trying to recreate the shot from the lesson #2 of the backgrounds and I’m so frustrated so far. I am almost having the result without doing the steps. I have upload the shot that I’m producing with only one flash.
My goal was to make the first photo that Alex is showing us where there is only a bright spot on the wall and the lense is completely black. I have moved the light in many places, I adjusted the power etc… but nothing close to the result Alex is having.
I was wondering what I am doing wrong and if I’m using the right equipment. I have only one flash 300 watts and all my other lights are continuous lights. For the gradient in the background under the table I will use continuous light with soft box but in the shot I’m sending you I’m using only one flash. I’m trying to take the lesson step by step, I thought it was nothing, but I’m already confused 🙁
Please send some help

Thank you in advance

Theodore
