I suspect that the whole style is to be looking away from the camera to the 
task in hand. Not a favoured style now for environmental portraits and a catch 
light is moot. Check 5 and 18 where the subject is engaged with the camera. I 
was more bothered by they're letting the women dress up for the shoot - very 
obvious and unrealistic. They're just too clean and pretty.
And I preferred 17 - that grungy look is much favoured by printers now but they 
don't do it nearly as well.
