Visa as a photographer

[abhisheknitt]

I need to cover a wedding in Blair Castle (Scotland) in July. I am a freelance photographer based in Mumbai. I need to know what visa do I need to apply under. The wedding party would arrange for any documents required from there side. However I usually work on and off and not employed permanently. So I need to know how can I show my ties to India and what visa category should I apply under. I would appreciate any help.

Thanks!

Will you be paid for this and if so by whom?

Thanks for your reply to my post. Yes, I would be paid by the groom who is a friend's friend. He'll also pay for my stay, travel and food.

But I couldn't find a suitable category for this kind of work. I only need to be in the UK for 5 days. I have also phoned the UK High Commission in India and they said everything is on the Border Agency website and I need to check there. But I couldn't find anything related to this.

I'd be grateful if you can help in this regard.

Thanks!

That's because there isn't one. It's not permitted to do as you are suggesting.
