• Welcome to my DAM Blog :)

    Prepare to forget or suspend many ideas and beliefs of your current digital file management. I will take you on a journey to help you understand a file management system that is easy, repeatable and infinitely scalable. I will help you set up hardware and software to make this possible. We will discuss file naming techniques so you never repeat a name and all of your files are automatically chronologically sorted.

Welcome

Paul McNerney is a Connecticut based wedding and boudoir photographer.  It all started at the University of Connecticut, when he became disenchanted with his pre-vet studies and ventured over to the art department to do something he always loved, photography!

It is their Paul met is wife Krystal and a beautiful life together started.  Paul and Krystal started Studio Foto LLC in the basement of a frame shop in 1999.  They quickly learned they really enjoyed photographing weddings, High School Seniors and children and their business took off.  In 2003 Paul and Krystal bought a commercial building in the center of Stafford Springs with the dreams of opening a large studio, after extensive reconstruction they moved in March of 2007.  Because of his interest in technical things Paul brought Studio Foto in to the digital market in 2006 with the advent of the Canon D30 and they never looked back.

Paul and Krystal enjoyed owning and operating a successful studio and were always looking to grow their business.  They were then introduced to a brand new group of photographers (PUG ) who wanted to start a group that allowed sharing and growth within the industry.  Paul and Krystal remember how competitive and lonely the past years have been so they quickly jumped at the opportunity to help others and share some of their knowledge.  It was then that Paul noticed people needing help organizing and managing their digital files so he started the DAM Workshops, a one on one in-studio training and studio set up service. Pulling from my super science “lab” oriented schooling I love to use the latest technology to make my life easier, something that keeps track of our stuff;)

Paul love teaching so he now offers not only DAM classes but ShootQ classes also.  In February Paul was selected by Pictage to become a ShootQ certified consultant and is now offering different levels of shootQ training to all levels of photographers.
