No actually selling, but sometimes people hire me for events like birthday etc.
What makes a good photographer in your opinion?
A good photographer should have at least the passion for arts and the who has eyes that sees things in a different way and the one who shares things that most of don't see or notice.
One best example is an advocacy photography but I myself express photography in a way of personalizing it, the one which shares stories not only as a photog but also as a model.

Prime lenses.

None so far.

It made me see things on a different and deeper perspective.

Hmmm, none so far..for as long as I express my art.. I never think about it.
What tips can you give to someone aspiring to be a professional photographer?
Actually I may not be considered as a pro by this time but I hope I can go back in this short interview and realize that I was an amateur. I really want to be a pro and I know there is still much more to learn.
What are the best tools for a beginner to learn on (besides the camera)?
Heart.

Perceptive, texture and meaning.

I have no idea so far. Its about self expression and one may never criticize others works. There is always room for improvement.
I know you like traveling for shoot or even for chill-out, can tell me where is the best place to be to do some shoot?
I love cemeteries, ruins and haunted houses. and why there? It tells more about my self identity.

Any final message?
Photographs are extensions of ones eyes in the heart. Its is a compilation of records of how man survived for lifetimes, those are memories which we cant turn back but we can cherish at the present.
These also serve as story teller of how we lived and will continue on the next lifetimes like a series of soul rebirth.
