Bradley Fischer also said by working with various companies you gain skills in different departments of photography, editing, and help them create different forms of multimedia. Being a freelance photographer is all about being able to adapt to situations and tasks, and use recommendations from the company as a jumping off point in which you as the artist get to create and capture moments in time. Bradley aspires to be a freelance photographer for as long as possible because photography is his passion, and he would like to make it his full-time job down the line. He said that making money is a necessity in life, just like following your dreams is a necessity, so make it happen now rather then regret it later.

            

        This photo was taken at the Tulip Festival in Oregon, and was also published through the social media for the Tulip Festival. This shot shows the power of perspective in which it is shot at eye level of the tulip in which has a beautiful backdrop of the blue sky with clouds floating over. This photo is one in which Bradley edited to bright and highlight the flowers while also creating a balanced image with the surrounding flowers. Bradley said that by understanding how to use editing software, the liveliness of the photo can be altered easily, and it can help create a deeper feeling tied to each photo. 

            Mr. Fischer was featured in the Via Magazine for AAA members, for his picture titled "Autumn Arches". Bradley was reached out to through social media after posting this photo on his Instagram account. He talked lots about the passion he has developed for photography through creativity and finding those angles and perspectives that most would not think to look for. Bradley talked about how color variations and photo angles create a scene that tend to evoke emotion in the viewer, and makes them feel various types of way. By having a photo with such great natural light and with the autumn leaves being so prominent, editing the likeness of this photo would be a disservice, he said that editing using "soft tools" that don't create a completely altering change is essential when capturing the natural essence of a object/subject.
