Thanks very much Brickers, your comments made my day. Jarren, your comment is aspecially welcome, considering your superior skills. Thankyou Msrr and R8, btw R8, I don't know exactly how to put my finger on the answer to that question. I was very pleased with how the model turned out, yet I was dissapointed with the photos, they didn't seem to do it justice.
I wouldn't say I have superior skills, I don't think I would have thought of even half of the techniques you used! (probably far less than half)
A few tips I find with photography.
1. Use a tripod, or rest the camera on something, this helps prevent blurriness.
2. Try to use room light, or another light source instead of the camera flash, which often washes out close up images.
3. I like using a background color that contrasts with the model, but still complements it. (Such as a yellow or tan background for a mostly red model)
4. If you have access to lots of desk laps, you could try to set up an "infinite white background" by setting up a curved piece of white poster board behind the model, and lighting that up, and then setting other lamps to light the main model. (note: i have never tried this, due to my lack of desk lamps, and cash to buy them.)
