About Me
I attended the Academy of Art in San Francisco eons ago. There, I was introduced to photography (developing negatives and prints) along with various other visual art subjects, but eventually pursued a teaching/research vocation to avoid hunger. I prefer expressive emotions to lifeless clothes hangers. I rarely update images here; see instagram.com/chubs.photography for recent images.
As a "Top Drawer" and a member of "The List", I sometimes volunteer a part of my time/resources to help newbie models start up their portfolios even when they do not necessarily help improve mine. (See http://www.modelmayhem.com/po.php?thread_id=503930 for a description of "The List" and "Top Drawer".) I am also a member of the "2nd List", a group who volunteer to help mentor newbie photographers. (See http://www.modelmayhem.com/po.php?thread_id=335562.) I do not claim to know everything (not even close), but I will gladly share what I know.    Nam, chubs photography Verified Credits (110)Worked with chubs photography?

I recieved the photos within hours of the shoot and they were wonderful! He does a great job with lighting adding the right amount of focus and blur. Nam is a very experienced photographer and I look forward to shooting with him again :)" Read less

"Nam is dedicated and diligent in his work whether solo or shooting with another photographer. He's quiet behind the camera, but respectfully collaborative about ideas, details, and making wonderful works. Very professional too with quick turn around with a plush home studio. It took about 2 yrs to manage time working with him; my only regret is not fitting him in sooner!" Read less
