  If you have shadows behind your subjects you can do one, any, or all of the following.

1. Raise the level of the lights.
2. Move the subject farther from the background.
3. Aim a light at the background.

Ideally, I wouldn't use the flash on the camera. A sync cord or radio slave is the best way. If you must use the flash on the camera try to reduce it's power.
