It would have been better to shoot from closer to the subject, with a wider aperture to blur the background and create a good separation for the subject. 3 you shot at 190mm and f5.6 with a 1/60 th shutter speed. F2.8 and 50, 60 mm would have given you a higher shutter to avoid motion blur, a better bokeh of the background and better contrast.
In Photoshop you can blur the background, adjust levels for better contrast and sharpen.

#3 is definitely my favorite of the bunch. Looks like all of the pictures have a green tint, easy fix in PP.

More separation from the background would be nice.

He couldn't shoot at F2.8 with that lens. F4.5 is the fastest that it can go...

Needs fill flash.

 

[D-B-J]

For not using flash and a wide aperture, they are good. But as stated, a wide aperture, say 3.2 or 2.8, and a focal length of 70-100mm, and a fill flash, she would have been better separated from the background. Still, a good shoot, and #3 is my favorite (expression and pose - wise)

I realize that. Shooting seniors is a paid proposition, usually. One should have the tools to do the job. Even so f 4.5 and 70 mm would have accomplished most.

The posing is not flatterering to her body/facial type, and the use of light indicates little or no knowledge of photographic lighting, available light or otherwise.

Lighting wise #1 is by far the worst, with #2 the least poor of the 4.

Do I understand correctly, you got paid to make the photos?

What would you suggest?

Definitely some brightness/contrast adjustments. They seem kind of dull.
