For "portrait" all shots are far to wide.... You should shoot much more close up to the subject. That is unless the backdrop is relevant but as far as I can see that is not the case. Only #4 comes close to a real portrait and is not really bad at all.
Avoid shadows by using more than one light or off camera flash and natural light. With the exception of #3 the shadows are too prominent.

Agreed on the portraits part. Just didn't have a title for the pictures!
