  Hello all,
  
  By way of introduction:
  
  My name is Steven Gotz and I am a Headshot and Zoo Photographer. I shoot for two zoos and visit as many others as I can. I taught an online class on the Art of Zootography after realizing people were going on safari having never post processed a photo of a lion in the bright sun. The fur almost always gets blown out and they come home and are disappointed.
  
  I have a lot of framed photos on my walls from zoos around the country. But just to show that photography is not supposed to be all that serious every time, here is a shot I like. Not my best, just my favorite from last week.
  
  I see that there are no wildlife categories, so I likely won’t post much. But now and then, perhaps.

  Ha, I just posted in the other post ya have…
  
  Steven, welcome to Light Stalking. As for categories, this thread called Chit Chat is pretty much anything goes. Post a photo, give it a cool title and keep engaging. The Throwdown thread is even better because if you post a zoo related photo, then everyone who has zoo related photography will begin to post their shots. Then, we talk about any photo posted.
  
  Enjoy and post!!

  Welcome Steven, Nice Shot, and as RG said, just put them in the photo chit chat category.

  Who wouldn’t love a Grinning Gorilla. Your model threw a nice pose, possibly even better than some of your Headshot clients.
  
  Welcome!
