Iray render problem

I'm using Iray with acceptable results, but every time I render a close up such a a portrait or any other type of "zoomed in" shot the figure always looks washed out or overly bright. The lighting may be fine for a shot that is composed further away, but as soon as I zoom in and render the scene its too bright without changing any other settings. Light source is a sky dome with the Iray uber shader, all surfaces are Iray shaded. How do I keep the character from looking like they would glow in the dark? -Thanks

Is it possible that the headlamp on the camera is turned on? I know when I start getting over bright close ups it is because I forgot to turn it of.
That was it thanks
