How do I get a black background?

Hi all,

I'm new to photography and love experiementing with my new DSLR, however, I'm curious as to how some photographers are able to get a black background, and the person wearing black to blend SO WELL. I seem to be able to see the difference and I can't work it out.

Am I doing something wrong or is it a photoshop thing? Or am I better off taking it in black and white in the first place (although I did really want the skin tone colours to come through).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. :)
