Mark Anthony Kathurima Photography

Thank you for you kind words. I think your portfolio shows a lot of imagination. Would love to see more.

Some interesting photos here. Nice portrayal (sp) of the English countryside. Would also be keen to see more of your work.

Thanks very much for your comments. I'll be posting some more work VERY soon, hopefully :)

Hiya Matt :) Yes, it is indeed Manchester. At St Peter's Square, just next to the tourist information office at the City Council HQ ;)

Thanks for looking at my portfolio. Next time I'm in the UK I'll certainly look you up.

Best regards from Kenya, Mark

fro visiting my photos. I will be visiting Yours, keep shooting. Greetings from POland :)))

I like so much your portfolio. Waiting for more photos. I like specially the one entitle "Impromptu photo session with a good friend". a really nice portrait. "Me and erm .. me again" is also a special. You have a lot of stories to tell. Please do it. Cheers from Canary Islands

Thank you for nice word on my portfolio. I like yours pictures. Antonio

I see some wonderful potential here. I am seeing some "maturing" in your images as you move into the realm of a serious photographer. Follow the passion.

As a teacher, I would have you research the composition principles of high key and low key. These are very powerful, and can even enhance your ability to "see". I left some comments on your flower picture that you might want to consider.

I hope I have been able to contribute to your growth here. Contact me by email if you have any other questions.

Mark, Your words on my portfolio is very encouraging. Thanks for your visit and you got nice pictures here too. Keep coming and keep in touch. God Blessed. ;~}}

Hey man thanks for the kind words you left. I see some really great images in here. I see your experimenting with various lighting and PS effects. Thats good. I can't give any advise because I myself am just an amature but I can say great work & keep posting! Keep in touch, I'd like to see what you do next.

Thank you for my very first critique!:) In turn I will be sending over my very first comment for photo.net to you. I was a bit hesitant setting up my pictures here with so many other great pictures to view. Your critique is very important to me as I continue on with my career in photography.

Thanks for your comment. You have a nice portfolio. keep shooting. Regards

Mark, I was both flattered and delighted to read your comments on my portfolio - I'm glad you enjoyed!

Your work finds me enthralled, and more than a little envious of the beautiful country you live in...I'll be watching for more, inspired and intrigued.

Also, keep in mind that I'll name my next folder for you, keeping in mind your catch of my sometimes off-setting sense of humor - leave it to someone who went to school in the UK to catch it:)

Cheers from New York, friend.

Hi Mark! You have an interesting portfolio with some wonderful, unique captured. Thank you for sharing and for commenting on my portfolio. Kindest regards from Canada! Cheers, Iren :o)

You have a nice portfolio.Thanks for your nice word and keep loading your creation .

Hi Mark, your enthusiasm is catchy, and I like that you are taking your camera into the real world while trying to create artful pieces. for my taste, i like your more natural work (vs. photoshopped). one thing, with digital images, I find it very hard to deal with bright highlights, and I see here and there that your images can run a little hot -- i often add contrast and have to remember to do it selectively in photoshop to prevent blown-out highlights.

but that is just technical stuff -- the story, the illumination of the heart, that is what i think matters most. hope to see more of your work.

Thank you very much for visiting my portfolio and commenting on so many of my photos... I must say you have some really great photos here and I will definitely keep an eye on your portfolio.

Regards ~~~satya~~~

FOR YOU . . . MARK

Thanks for presenting some really good shots. You have an exceptional eyes and a brilliant sense of framing. People is my favorite. Will love to see more from you. Post more. Rgds.

Mark, I've been following your work for some time and I can really tell that you show a steady improvement and most of all, the development of your own unique and original style. Keep up your enthusiasm and showing us more! All the best, Alex

Hi Mark, really nice portfolio. Keep shooting. Keep posting.

Mark, thanks for commenting on my portfolio, it was much appreciated. I enjoyed yours also and am looking foreword to seeing more.

James.

Your pictures have an air of creativity, and you seem to have a good grasp of techniques to show what you see. I like your "painting" exercises. It is encouraging for me since I was playing with that too. You also have some excellent portraits. Thanks for sharing and inspiring. Greetings from wonderland!

Sema chief!

Thanks for stopping by and dropping a line. Such comments are always welcome. I found the photoshop rework of "Precision & control" very cool!

Your photography has matured tenfold from the last time I had a quick glance at your porfolio (sorry for not responding sooner). You are experimenting with a large variety of themes from people to cars, color to mono and post picture capture manipulation. That is indeed very refreshing to see. Forget the flashy kit (tho sometimes it helps), this is the only way one's photographic potential will increase. And you have embraced this ethos!

Looking forward to seeing more of your work and thanks for contributing!

James

Thanks for the comments on my photo, finally got around to viewing your portfolio and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. You have some portraits that are just fantastic, and I really like your car and motocycle shots. Keep up the great work. Thanks.

Nice portfolio! I like very much your portraits, also your work with cars and motorcycles. Thank you very much for your critique, a big smile for you from Italy! Chiara

i see you love cars...your passion is apparent through your non-traditional and creative approach towards photogrphing them. i like the different perspectives and color alterations. awesome work!

Your portfolio is really great and various..I love Portrait section...well done! My best congrats!

Mark, nice work, you capture expressions and moments in your people work very well. Keep in touch.

Thanks for visiting my portfolio. You have some great shots here. I was in Kenya for a couple of weeks in 1968. I thought it was fascinating. I'll bet I wouldn't even recognize it now, though, huh? Best Regards.

Thanks for the comments on my portfolio. Your portfolio is very nice too! Keep in touch. DM

Thanks for your comments on my photos Mark. I really appreciate it. You're doing very nice work as well.

This is a wonderful portfolio, Mark. I will have to go through it carefully in its entirety after the holidays pass. Thak you!

--Lannie

Hi Mark some very interesting PS work on the Alvis shot. I love cars and also glad to see someone shooting tight on the most interesting areas of the vehicles. Bring us more photos as you have a very interesting eye for conceptual work. Kind regards Randall

Very nice work, Mark. Like your portraits a lot. Wayne

Happy New Year! Thank you for all your support and comments on my photos in 2005. May 2006 be a very good year for you and your family, Best wishes from Dallas Texas

Many thanks for your kind words on my portfolio. It is encouraging to recieve such feedback and nice to know that someone is actually looking. Your work is superb. I particulaly like the concource d'elegance folder. Has inspired me to do a similar project. Keep up the good work and thanks again.

I appreciate a lot your comment on my picture! I like very much also your portfolio. Antonio

hi Mark, thanks for your kind comments on my portfolio! I like yours as well. Some of my favorites are the portraits you've taken -- you have captured very nice poses and smiles. I also love the photo of the boats (in sepia tone) on the beach. It has great lines and composition...I think it's one of my favorites! thanks, Jennifer

What an enjoyable "cruise" through your interesting portfolio, you have a real knack for photographing people, the images feel very spontaneous yet they are well composed and exposed. Really liked all the chrome on the beautiful autos and bikes. Thanks for a peek into your part of the world.

Thanks for browsing through my portfolio. You have also a very interesting potraiture section. Well taken. Cheers.

Thank u for ur reply ... regards from Kolkata ... Ur portfolio is really nice ... carry on clicking ...

Mark, Thanks for your comment and correction on my Corvette Summer regarding "tilting". I never realized I did that and I am more aware of making sure that if I tilt the horizon, its on purpose.

Your portfolio has a wonderful variety.

Thank you for your comments on my portfolio, Mark. I've been enjoying browsing your photos.

Beautiful portfolio! You must be proud of it. You love photography and we feel that in your pictures, no doubt. Mes meilleures salutations Mark, from Canada!

I'm watching your portfolio now for the first: a really wonderful portfolio! I love it!

Very nice portraits of very beautiful girls. There is a great feeling of cheerfulness and joy of living in your portfolio. As an amateur of landscape photo, I would have liked to see more landscapes in it, and I hope you will show us some of Kenya or somewhere else in Africa.

Regards,

Henri

I can see the visualization behind your images... there are some good images, some early experiments but am sure the best is yet to come

I am waiting to see where your portfolio goes from here.

i like your work werry much!keep up at good work! Domen (slovenia)

Very good portfolio Mark, congratulations. I like the folder "People" very much. Thank you for your comment.

Mark, your works are so full of life and detail.great job! steve,

Hi Mark. Thanks for your kind comment on my portfolio. Sorry for being a bit late getting back - there's no "alert" to me when those comments are left, and so I only find them by chance, long after :). Your work is nice - photogrpahing people is the best fun I know of, and you feel the same I think.

Philip.

TK care my photo friend, you live in a great land, and you are many photo possibility,,,,,,,,,,,,. I prefere your portrait!!!!! Bye Stefano

You have impeccable taste in women and have a knack for making them come to life on camera. I've been to Kenya 3 times over the years and I am transfixed by every moment I spend there. Do you have a wildlife portfolio?

Hi Mark! Great portfolio. Please feel free to comment on any of my work as I will take it to heart and use it. Best Regards, Bridgette

Hello Mark, Great collection of photos! I used to live in Nairobi and your pics brought back some fond memories! Thanks! Joban.

I came to your folio via your excellent 'poser' photo and have enjoyed looking your work over. Life looks good-filled with beauty, elegance, charm and wit. As an advertiser of the beauty of Kenyan women you score 10. I wasn't planning on visiting but now it looks imperative. Congratulations on an excellent body of work. I look forward to seeing more.

great portfolio and nice variety of subjects!Beautiful shots,especially your portraits. With regards,Jim

impressive work. signs of talent. gradual discovery of hidden potential is evident through entire work. some great portratits as well. im glad 2 b here. regards!

Very nice pictures Mark. You have very good compositions and a unique gallery! I particularly like your wedding folder!

You've been busy shooting nice work. Nice consistent quality here. Good eye. Is that fine looking lady you are posing with your lady ? When I come back to Africa I will look you up uh? Marcus

Mark - Thank you for taking the time to go over my portfolio-I'm sure it took you a long time to re-edit them-I'm learning everyday from great photographers like you-take care-Sandy

Sakpase from Haiti.

What an incredible portfolio, Mark! When I first glimpsed it back in December, I did not know that your range of subjects was so vast--but it isn't hard to figure out what your favorite subject is.

--Lannie

Thank you for feedback! I've seen your portfolio, I enjoy it! Very nice colour alteration in some photos and good ideas. Keep it up. Best regards from Italy. gaetano

Just Me!

Thank you for your kind comments concerning my work. It pleases me to see your work.

Thank you for your advice comment. I have enjoyed looking at your varied interesting and colourful portfolio too. Nice work

This site is for people to share their work and tips and you proves it works! You have made such improvements since last year that I am proud to see you evolve so quickly. All my encouragements go to you!

Mark Anthony, thank you for your comments on my portfolio. Hopefully you are right! :-) I looked through your portfolio and read some of the comments others have written on it and I agree 100%. Your work is starting to show its own style and you have plenty of creativity in your shots. Keep up the good work. i look forward to seeing more from you in the future.

And actually, you looked at my portfolio and probably the worst possible time. I just completely stripped it of about half the images. Come by in a few months and it should be up and running again ;-)

Hi Mark, Thanks for your comments, just lookng through you portfolio, I love the portraits, you captured great intensity.

D

I was in Kenya the last november!!...is a very fantastic place!! Maybe I can return this november but now is to early to know that....I look your shot and I have appreciate all your photo's.. is very nice!! (sorry for my english!)...;-) p.s. if you want take my e-mail m.pietralunga@parchotels.it maybe we can meet in Kenya in the next future....or not?

great work mark!...max16vj

I've visited your portfolio many times before, but never left a comment...

I love all your photos and I like the way you see things, people and nature. My compliments.

I would also like to thank you for your ratings and very nice comments on my work. I do appreciate your opinion.

Keep up the good work, jk

I'll say, nice work with your people photography! Your photos capture character and emotion with a nice, sharp simplicity about them. I guess I can see you're real good at getting your subjects relaxed and comfortable for the camera. I just wish my own friends were half as cooperative. Asians are really camera-shy. Argh.

Thanks for commenting on my portfolio! I do love getting "out there" and capturing what life offers up to me for the day.

I took a journey through your portfolio and enjoyed the journey very much. I will keep watching your portfolio for new additions. Your work is beautiful.

deb

Your portraits reflect your personality...and you're no doubt a loving family man, with good friends. Congrats on some really good work. Regards from South Africa Terry

Hello. Great portfolio you've got there really nice still life pictures great depth and colour in them. If you intend to do any sports photography don't buy the 350D. Other than that it is a really good camera. The only disadvantage that it is slightly slow, 2fps , whilst my field needs the bigger fps. However, this helped me significantly in improving my timing. Concerning the lenses the 50mm f1.8 is a great lens. (One of my current lens orders) The 70-200mm f4 is ok for many applications other than indoor sports (Gyms are Dark, i find it difficult with an f2.8 lens) or football stadiums at night. Wish i have been helpful.

Thanks for your comment, Mark. I like your portraits.

Hello Friend!

Well here it is another year is passing away and we are coming into the holidays. I think time starts to go faster as we get older, it was just yesterday I wished my friends Happy Holidays and here it is again the end of a year. The holiday lights are starting to be put on some of the trees here in Dallas, we were out last night and some were lighting the trees. I wish for you all a holiday season with family and friends, after all is said and done all we have is each other.

I want all of you to know just what your comments and ratings on my work means to me, your words are my motivation, my drive to discover, to learn this art that we all love, thank you for taking time and thank you for caring about my works. At the same time thank you for letting us see your world, our lives are so much the same, we all care about our families and friends and we all share the same things, maybe someday our photos will help make for a lasting world peace. May you and your family be blessed this season.

Happy Holidays and Happy Shooting

Ken

I'm very proud of you Caesar! You have an awesome, God-given talent. I hope to be able to take advantage of it one day :-)

Shalom, Miss T x

You have a great and varied portfolio. Keep up the excellent work. Thanks for the comment on my image of the bride coming up the spiral stairs. Pointing out the shoe isn't nit-picking at all. Get this; that photo is over a year old and I never saw the shoe there! So thanks for pointing it out. Oops!

hey Mark, thank you for your recent comment on one of my photos... i went through your protfolio and i have to say it's a good one... recently i shot some private jet (for the first time i was taking photos of any airplane) and i shot quite similar photos to your 777 - the only difference is that 777 is a lot bigger than the one that i shot :)

best regards. greg

btw i was thinking about going to Kenya, so if i'll be able to realise my plans i'll drop you a line...

Hi Mark, how are you? . I`ve been reading about the turmoil in Kenya.I hope you are well. I wish you a great 2008.

Marta azevedo

Thank you very much for your concern. The situation is not very good here in kenya at the moment (there has been widespread violence following the results of the presidential election) We are praying that things calm down and life returns to normal soon!

For all who would like to help, please visit the following website:

Kenya Red Cross - donate

My sincere thanks in advance,
Mark

Thank God, Kenya is now back to normal. It was a trying time where many lost all they had, but things have now settled. Thank you to all my PN friends and other well-wishers who donated, sent messages...or prayed for peace to prevail

hi! i have noticed you marked me as interesting! thanks very much for that! i really like your work, especially the kenya and portugal folders. i have recently added some new work and would really like your opinion! thank you and all the best! :)

Hi Mark, just a quick note to say how much I have enjoyed looking at your photos, and I do like the style of your website. I'm not sure if I'll ever make the standard necessary to post my pieces on photo.net, but viewing work such as yours does spur me to improve. I especially admire your portraits.

Best wishes Lindsay

In visiting your portfolio after seeing a beautiful portrait you posted yesterday, I was rewarded by finding a collection of absolutely stunning images. Your portraits are wonderful - they are exactly what a portrait should be. When they can draw in a viewer who does not know the person in the image, then they have to have something special to them. Shots such as the one titled "Sisters", the one of your grandfather (unbelievably good) or your collection "People" are the type of image that keep me up at night wishing I had taken them - they are quite extraordinary. I have added your portfolio to my collection of special work to review, and I look forward to seeing what you post next. Keep up the great work! Mark

I am honoured and humbled by your comments. Thank you so much.
