Jim DeCamp

Jim DeCamp spent almost 25 years working for newspapers, the last several as a Columbus Dispatch photographer.

As the news business changed and traditional advertising dollars diminished, Jim was let go along with several other photographers in the first of several job cuts by the newspaper.

Understanding that the times were changing, Jim explored new technologies that would offer his new clients a photographic product not available from most photographers.

Literally using the time to his advantage, Jim’s time-lapse projects span extended periods of activity reducing them to only a few seconds of play.

One project was the transformation of Nationwide Arena from Hockey to a concert venue for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra to a basketball court for the Harlem Globetrotters and back to hockey in a 72 hour period.

Jim’s knowledge can help any photographer learn a few new tricks to keep clients happy.
