If you have a course offering you would like us to consider, we ask you to submit the following:
     * speaker biography/resume
     * suggested title and course description that FPP would use to publicize the course. Should be about 2-3 paragraphs in length (what students would learn from the course, why they should attend your course)
     * length of course (1 day, 2 1/2 day or week long)
     * course outline (what you are going to do in the time allotted to you
     * instructor equipment needs (cameras, computers, VCRs, monitors, and digital projectors are NOT provided)
     * if you will be creating images in your class are you using a digital or film camera? (we have NO overnight processing available)
     * instructor models request (FPP uses "real people" as models - such as most of us encounter in a day-to-day situation. Models are not paid, they give of their time so that they can receive photographs from the class demonstrations.
     * at least 6-8 sample images of your work - send us your BEST - hard copy (8x10 or smaller) preferred as we will be reviewing it in a committee format. )
     * listing of other places you have taught workshops, reference contact information
Possible corporate sponsors who may be interested in participating in the FPP Florida School of Photography.

About FPP instructor positions and FPP School
           We look for instructors who are very successful "at home" as we are a non-profit organization with an extremely limited budget for speaker honorariums. You've got to love sharing your information with others.
     * Our "target" market for students is portrait and wedding photographers. We do get some students from other specialties but our most of our courses and our promotional efforts are geared towards P/W.
     * Because our classes on held on campus the Daytona Beach Community College; we must gather and transport EVERYTHING we use. We will ask you to be extremely conservative with your requests for equipment, props, AV, etc. Please be prepared to be flexible if we cannot fulfill your precise list.
     * The FPP provides each instructor with one class assistant and some classes will have one or two assistants. If you would like to bring a personal assistant or teaching assistant, all their travel and lodging expenses are YOUR responsibility.
     * Please don't ask the students to bring lots of photo equipment - there is usually not enough time for the students to work with models in addition to your demonstrations (most models are in and out in an hour or two) - and we would prefer that students pay attention your demonstrations. We generally recommend that you limit students to 35mm cameras or digital cameras to document posing and lighting setups - they can then purchase your images in the "study set" (an important fundraiser for the school).
     * For Photoshop-type courses, students bring their own computer equipment as we do not have access to a "lab."
     * For instructors teaching "advanced" classes, know that we admit these students on an honor system basis and you WILL get students of all levels attending (we wish students would be more honest with themselves!). The FPP staff does not have time to screen each student to verify that they are in fact "advanced."
