Short answer--you can't.

Longer answer: use a much darker background to reduce contrast. The 
camera will increase the exposure, since it tries to make every scene of 
the same brightness. You could also increase exposure manually.

If you do that you will have more detail available in the image of the 
bloom. But it won't look black.

So maybe post two images--one showing the blackness and one showing detail.
