Studio strobe setup and backdrop

Here are some photos i took in my new studio setup in my garage with some older bowens strobes, 1 umbrella, softbox and rear fill with barn doors. From how these shots came out can anyone give me any pointers on how my lighting, or anything i've done to these final output images, could be improved?

My studio is setup at 125 @ f8

thanks

It all depends on what you are trying to achieve. Some of the shots have fairly flat lighting and there's nothing inherently wrong with that. Looks to me like you had the flashes at 45 degrees on either side of the subjects for many of these shots. On others, it looks like you moved the lights around some. Try adjusting the power on the lights with the fill lower powered than the key and see what you think.

Looks like a fun couple with whom to work!

Thanks brice, one thing I should have mentioned also is that there is some vignetting is done in post. I suppose i'm playing it safe atm, eg even lighting and no shadows. I guess as i start to experiment I can get some more dramatic lighting, but yes you were right in picking that the strobes were at 45% angles, i want to move the unbrella strobe closer to the camera.

Also, i've got the umbrella strobe a full stop down darker than the softbox, it was something i read online.
