Good Advice

Great info, every photog has probably experienced the too fast o shutter for strobes. This is actually a vignette the photographer put on the pics in post.He transcoded them himself and chose the vignette for a "moodier" look I believe. We don't normally vignette pics.

Have them slow their shutterspeed down one click, and those dark areas will go away.

I had that issue with my 5D when I first bought it. Canon recommend a sync speed for the shutter to use with flash but neither of my 5D bodies work well at that suggested sync speed. I have to drop my shutter back by 3rd of a stop from what Canon suggests is optimal... to make those dark areas go away.
