1. set your shutter speed to about 1/200 or 1/250 (depends on your external flash sync speed)
2. Set your ISO to lowest possible
3. choose aperture around f/5.6 to f/8
4. set your external flash gun at your preferred lighting angle (you need to play with the flash power yourself)
5. Happy Shooting!!!

The shutter speed can be set lower, depending on the lighting condition. What you want to achieve is a near black image, with the subject's outline barely visible.

This video probably has a better explanation.
