They are on her website so I would assume she was the paid photog

Very nice work. Your work is very clean and simple

I was the paid photographer. CC is always welcome =)

You are correct =) & thank you

None of these are bad pictures at all, but a few thoughts in general are that you tend to crop in close, perhaps too close. it gives me a slightly claustrophobic feel and perhaps detracts from the environmental information of the day, storytelling etc? Maybe give some space to breathe...or consider lens selection if that's limiting you a little in low light.

That leads me, perhaps in a connected manner to my second point, like I said, there aren't any bad pictures here, but I feel if we were to view them in colour and without any filters applied - they'd be a little less significant feeling. I like your B&W processing here, but feel the monotone and the lifted blacks add a air of authority to the pictures they might not have deserved in a closer to SOOC format?

To tie those pieces of critique together, think composition (and I know it's hard on the hoof while everything is happening around you) and think about framing to include the environment so the pictures don't feel isolted and removed from the activity of the day.

Hope that comes across as well intentioned, as I'd hoped.
