Move the subject away from the backdrop because you are fighting the inverse square law instead of using it to your advantage. The light source position determines where the shadows fall on the backdrop. If you raise the lights and shoot down onto the subject, and the subject is further in front, where are the shadows going to fall?  Low down on the background and the light falling on the subject will be much stronger than the light on falling on the background. Mixing ambient light and Xeon light from a flash is going to cause color cast in shadows even if you can get a decent white balance. If you want to use some ambient light you can use a Gel over the flash so it matches the color temperature of the ambient.  It might be easier to use the ambient only for set up and dim it when shooting. You should not have to be at 1200 iso for that scene. How are you controlling the flash ower? Are you using flash controllers or optical CLS?  Using iTTL metering?Another flash pointed right at the white background can overexpose it so it is pure white and will not show the texture or wrinkles.  I would not go over ISO 200 for that shot. If you still don't have enough light, something else is wrong. Again, using the inverse square law means you can quadruple the light intensity by moving the lights to 1/2 the current distance. Distance causes light fall off from a point source as the square of the distance and knowing that it is possible to use it to your advantage in may ways.</blockquote>
