About Me

Reload Sampler - Lam Nguyen


Well my name is Lam Nguyen (pronounced Lum Win). I was born and raised in Fort Smith, Arkansas. I am of French, German, Irish, and Vietnamese descent. Some of my interests include performing, modeling, graphic artistry and photography. As a gymnast I received many awards including three gold medals in state. I have been involved in a variety of shows and performed with acrobatic dance groups throughout the years. My modeling experience covers commercials, print, runway and promotional work. As an artist my work ranges from retouching and creating photos for companies to individuals. Photography is my newest found passion and it has allowed my artistry and ideas to grow to a new level. Through all of my work I have been able to meet and work with incredible individuals from around the world. In the future I hope to travel and continue my work.

Ask me a question: click here to ask

Do you ever second guess yourself when you steal food from somebody? Like, "maybe I shouldn't be so greedy"? And then they come back and it turns out they were starving? And you feel kind of sorry for them but somehow end up eating them, too?

Oh I'm constantly stealing food from the gay's and homeless, but they don't need to eat. No I don't really feel bad, because I do in fact eat them before they can worry too much about it.

Why don’t you model?

Well considering I live in Arkansas, there aren’t many places to model for… if any at all. I would love to if anyone offered me an opportunity though.

Do you retouch all “normal” pictures of yourself?

Most of them are untouched cellphone shots, but the professional pictures are. I absolutely love retouching photos and it’s a fun thing to past time when you’re bored. When I say retouch I’m not changing things so much that the person in the photo looks nothing like me, but it’s more of removing that HUGE pimple right in between my eyebrows! :P

How do you make all of those crazy pictures and can you teach me?

Well it’s all done in Photoshop. I’ve been using Photoshop around 8 years and I’m completely self-taught. I’ve spent a lot of time playing around not knowing what I was doing. Best advice I can give you is just keeping playing around with it. Eventually you will get the hang of it. I remember when I started I couldn’t even figure out how to change the size of a picture… so I’ve come along ways.

You seem to be good at everything! Is there anything your not good at?

Oh I’m terrible at writing and spelling! And I definitely can’t sing .

How do you normally dress?

Well, I like wearing tight fitting shirts and a nice pair of shorts. I usually wear flip flops all year around. If I don’t wear my watch, ring, or necklace I feel very awkward and can’t stop checking to see if its there.

I love your hair! Where do you get it done at?

I get my hair styled and dyed at Modify Salon . My stylist is Ronnette and she is also the owner of the salon. So if you’re in the area and want a great haircut then you should hit her up :P

Dude… your bi?! That’s kind of weird… so do you like boys or girls more?

Yes indeed I am bi. I’m sorry you think its weird, maybe you should be more open minded. I don’t like either sex more than the other. I see a person by there personality and who they are, not by there gender. So if I like someone it doesn’t matter to me if they’re a boy or girl.

Can you make a picture for me? Can you retouch some of my pictures?

Well, I can but I do charge. I don’t have time to do things for free, unless it’s for a good cause. I am currently working on a pricing sheet for all my work and it will be posted on my site http://www.lam-nguyen.com/ .

Can you tell me something about yourself that most people don’t know about?

Well I can sense when my animals are sick and going to die. This sense I have was terrible for most of my life because my parents thought I was making it up. But then they realized every single animal I told them about got sick or died. Sometimes they still have a hard time believing me, I would too if it wasn’t me. I’ve predicted every single one of my animal’s illnesses and death, except for my cat that seemed to disappear into thin air one day… Let’s just say I have a special connection to animals I am close to. And considering I’ve had over a hundred animals and known about everything… it just happened too many times to be coincidence. As for explaining the sense I feel, I can’t explain it. An image comes to me and I just know.

What are you goals in life?

I have way too many for this lifetime, or so it seems… but here are a few. First I want to get into cirque, then get into the movie industry or maybe some modeling. I want to own my own car dealership/custom shop. I want to be a realtor for big gorgeous houses. I want to do special effects makeup, hair, and costumes. Most of all I want to have a successful future with millions in the bank and maybe a few kids to beat for taking out my Mercedes McLaren :P

Do you like living in Arkansas?

Well there isn’t much to do here and not very many opportunities for the kind of work I want and like to do. It isn’t the worst place to live… I suppose if you like a quiet relaxing life this would be the place. I would prefer living in a bigger city and near a beach.

Music:

hiphop* rap* jazz* blues* classical* techno with singers* some opera* very little country* pop* rock* I like just about everything :P

Movies:

I like most movies I watch as long as the quality is good, I have a hard time watching old crappy looking movies. I'm very easily entertained.

Television:

I LOVE TV! It would take me a century to name off everything I like but I LOVE my cartoons. I'm sooo sick of girls gone wild commercials and dating services... I could definately do without those.

Books:

reading are for smart peoples?..

Heroes:

not sure about heros but I have many inspirations
