ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
Holding a NON-O immigrant visa generally does not allow you to work legally as a freelance photographer in Thailand. Any paid work, including freelance employment, requires a work permit. To obtain a work permit, you typically need to be employed by a Thai company, as the conditions are quite strict. In special circumstances, like if your NON-O visa is extended based on marriage, you might have some options, but the labor department might still classify freelance photography as a restricted profession, compounding the challenges in securing a work permit.
