What could improve these?

Considering setting up a small home studio for some of my pro wrestling work. My youngest daughters always get to be the guinea pigs for stuff before I do it. Hoping to see what I'm doing wrong and right in the eyes of the experts. My work for pro wrestling includes stuff that will be used for event flyers and 8x10s they sell to fans.

Single strobe with large soft box ,camera right and reflector to the left of the models.

Overall the lighting looks good. Shots number one and two should have been talls, but the others look good. I dunno... I think these look plenty good.

Is it what you want? If so then you're already there. If not, then you need to make some kind of change. Lighting is about what you want, so if this is what you want to achieve then you're fine.

Thank you Derrel. It is what I want, I'm extremely happy with them, but I wanted to make sure they "checked the boxes" so to speak. I like to make sure that I've learned what I truly think I've learned before I move forward with things. Thank you, you've always been a great help.

It may just be this monitor, but they seem a bit hot to me; esp # 3, where i'm seeing significant detail loss in the highlights, in particular around the toque.

I don’t disagree. Going to try to make that adjustment.
