@DeafPerv I realize you've done several versions now, but in this case I would render two layers. Render the model and the background separately. Then you can play with the settings for each layer individually to find the best compromise.
You could go even further. You could make a render per lightsource.
That's what I'm doing for PinUps mainly. But it also works for other images too. It allows readjusting the lighting in postwork. It reduces random noise by default and it gives new ideas for other lighting setups. Also you learn a lot about lights and shadows, b/c you see every single light in isolation and in conjunction with other lights.

Wouldn't each render just override the others as you enabled them?

For a starter, yes they do. But as soon as you play with the oppacity of each layer, except the bottom light, you will see what I mean. You could also change the blending modes of the additional layers to achieve different kinds of lighting effects. Most people, I've met so far, prefere to set the blending mode of each layer above the bottom one with screen blending mode, and then dial the opacity very low.

I really like your stuff. I just attach images straight on this board, I dunno. For this one, the scene is very bright. It looks like a police chopper is outside looking in. Not sure about the straps on her thighs. Still, really nice.

And another PinUp.
This time I just wanted to show the power of blending modes.
I've used four layers for this one. And didn't do any highlighting, catchlight addition, shadow enhancement etc.

The first two layers are the light sources made with these two basic renders.

I've decided to use two different colors to make them more visible. Normally I would use lights at 6500 Kelvin and would have tinted them in postwork with different colors.
I've chosen the blue light as my main layer, the red one was placed above. Blending mode "Addition" at 66% opacity.
After that, I grouped the two layers together and set two new layers above them. Both were direct copys of the Lighting Group. The layer on top, I sat straight to screen blending mode and left it. The hole image got a lot brighter after that. The layer in between becomes a blur and desaturation treatmenr, and was set to the Addition blending mode. The whole process was done in about 20 minutes, b/c I already knew what the results would be look like. All I had to do, was adjusting to my taste.
The last step, was to downsize the image to 1280x720 pixels.

Some surfaces tweaks in the image below, including making a marble bath out of a highball drinking glass. Still not overly happy with the facial expressions I achieve, so if anyone has a good expressions asset would you let me know what you use.

I don't know if you are using Gen 3 or 8. For G3, I like using Authenticity. It doesn't have extreme expressions, but has a lot of everyday sort of expressions. It also let's you split expressions with top and bottom versions.

Burlesque scene with use of a dust atmosphere to add ambience. In the spoiler below I have included the earlier renders, so you can see the tweaking process.

I just moved the camera and turned her head, the rest is basic-but the picture looks quite different
YES!!!. High Heels Sandals are THE BEST!!! :heartcoveredeyes::heartcoveredeyes::heartcoveredeyes:


She should be wearing the heels!

Figured I'd throw in a few things I've done.

I finally figured out how those background colour and bokeh things work for this one :D
