I think the last one of the friend is totally passable... I could actually see something like that in a gallery. It's not super clear but it's clear enough to be interesting.
The first one with your wife is excellent... the next 4 are just a touch too dark but the handstand is super, super good and honestly print worthy. The last one is lit nicely but I think her pose is a little confusing. Overall I think these are great, you all did really well!

I could have recovered them a bit in lightroom to make them passable here, but they wouldn't have been passable for me :D
You know I like weird and awkward framing :) She is dancing - not sure how to get good pictures of people dancing without taking heaps of photos, because pretty much everyone looks weird dancing when frozen in a frame.
Do you find it strange that perhaps fifty years ago, some of these would have been considered pretty good? I think the quality of equipment in digital means that resolution rather than subject has become more important. There are of course great photographers around doing brilliant work, but the "anyone can take a photo" has reduced the value of photography a lot in my opinion.
Oh absolutely... even within my lifetime photography has gone from pretty exclusive (decent cameras and printing was expensive) to literally everyone has a camera with them at all times, with lots of those being good enough to blur backgrounds... but, because everything is complicated always, social media seems insatiable for "good" photos... so more supply and more demand.
If anything I think that the trillions and trillions of photos out there really highlight just how more important lighting and composition is than the actual camera equipment.
