What have participants said about the Summer Intensive?
“I have learned so much from Paul [Thulin] over these last few weeks. It’s truly incredible. He is always willing to answer my questions or help me in any way. The projects he conducts are wonderful; each project introduces me to a new type of photography. He also approaches the class in a very organized manner. Paul has the perfect balance of authority, humor and mentorship. Through his projects and guidance, Paul has pushed me to grow as an artist and under his direction I have gained tremendous artistic motivation.”
