freelance photographer
Self-employed camera professional
A freelance photographer works independently rather than as an employee of a single publication or studio, taking assignments from various clients or selling work on speculation.
The term emphasizes the business arrangement—self-employed, project-based—rather than any particular photographic specialty: She works as a freelance photographer for several fashion magazines.
