In other words, a freelance is a photographer who is not on someone's payroll. He also does not own a studio, at least not what's usually considered a studio, a business enterprise that does portraits or commercial work.A freelance photographer is one who's out there on assignment, an assignment of his own choosing or his own making, whether it's for a publication, a corporation, an individual, or his own stock file.But what does it take to be a freelance photographer?More than anything else, desire. Since it's something you do on your own, it's something you have to want to do.
