Many publications, including newspapers and magazines, designate nonsalaried non-staff writers as "contributors."
In newspaper terminology, a freelance news reporter is a "stringer."
In other functions, freelancers are often simply referred to by the type of work they contribute--e.g. "illustrator," "columnist," "photographer," "news writer," etc. If it is necessary to distinguish these from full-time staff, you could say "contributing photographer," etc.

In industry you generally call them a contractor.
