"freelance"

I see, here:freelance, there is a suggestion that the English word is now common parlance in Spanish. Is this true of peninsular Spanish. Wouldn't it be more usual to say for example,

Es una periodista autonoma/por cuenta propria/independiente as opposed to:

El es un fotógrafo freelance

What's the most colloquial (o sea) most "acceptable" way?

Thanks

I'd say in everyday Spanish, talking with friends you could use Freelance. I have heard it used like that. It is one of those English words that has seeped into the language. But the others a probably more proper.
