The UV does seem to be a bit over-exposed.
Digital cameras are hardly sensitive to UV light. Instead of using UV, you could simply try another strobe with a blue or violet filter on it. That would allow you to reduce your exposure time to 1/200th at 100 ISO, making the photo sharper and less noisy.

Thank you.
Yes she was sat on the floor with the lights below. I like your suggestion, and will try it. If I bought some coloured acetate, would that work as a filter for my strobe? (I have no budget at the moment!) Also as I havent got the cash to invest in proper lights, would simple angle poise lamps work if I positioned them close enough?
I appreciate your setting suggestions, cheers
