I finished a 3 month gig where I was paid to repair many old photos. I also put them all into digital format. It was a pretty big project so I want it on my resume. I was paid by a person not a company. How do I put that on my resume?

I would simply put it as 'Freelance work'.

It is pretty irrelevant, as long as it is clear and concise. Resumes are simply a 'snapshot' of your experience and past work history. You can elaborate in an interview later.

If it is relevant experience to what you want to do, include it! Whether you were paid by a company or an individual doesn't matter. Frankly years ago I did free software beta testing for a company. While I didn't get paid, it was relevant experience.

Good luck!
