A Second Shooter is a photographer who will give you another angle on an event, normally a professional photographer who is capable of shooting without supervision in the style you want.
They will supply you with their images during or at the end of the event for you to post-process.
2ndShooting is a good way to supplement your income as a professional or semi-professional photographer as it lets you take the photographs without the hassle of post-processing or dealing with clients.
There are also a lot of new, young photographers coming into the market looking for events to build up their portfolios.
