This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
Pontiac Firebird, Los Angeles 2012 - I’m not really into cars or car photography but I’ve been enjoying shooting older cars with Instagram for iPhone. It reminds me of how life looked to me growing up in the 1970s. www.goeddeimages.com
Ivy Red, San Francisco 1997 - Shot on Upper Haight, this was my first time shooting with Ivy. We would work together countless times many years later. www.stevedietgoedde.com
Jessica, Rural Illinois 1995 - Taken in a swimming pool at a farm in rural Illinois. The boobs are real, and they were photographed with the Mamiya 645. www.stevedietgoedde.com
Steve Diet Goedde’s spread featuring Ancilla Tilia for Syren Latex in Von Gutenberg Magazine No. 6.
Black Widow & Ivy, Los Angeles 2000 - Photographed on the side of my old house in Hollywood. This is an outtake from the same shoot as this better-known photo from my second book. Photographed with the Mamiya 645 with Tmax 400 film. www.stevedietgoedde.com
Courtney, Palm Springs 2003 - Shot in Marlyn Monroe’s room at an old hotel in Palm Springs. Photographed with the Mamiya 645. www.stevedietgoedde.com
Asia DeVinyl, Los Angeles 2006 - Shot in my friend O’Shay’s bedroom. Shot on 120mm Kodak T-Max with a Mamiya 645. www.stevedietgoedde.com
Yolanda, Tujunga Canyon CA 1998 - From my second book The Beauty of Fetish: Volume II (Edition Stemmle). Yolanda was one of my first regular models when I moved to Los Angeles from Chicago in 1998. Yolanda was also the cover model for the book. Photographed with the Mamiya 645 with god only knows what kind of film at the time but probably Fuji something or other. UPDATE: video footage of the making of this photo can be seen on my PeepTV segment. The Yolanda footage is at both the beginning and ending of the video piece.
I photographed the cover of the new Stockroom 2012 print catalog featuring Ancilla Tilia wearing the Latex Bolero Straitjacket™. The catalog is only $3.00 and can be purchased online HERE or pick up a copy at the Stockroom retail boutique in the Silverlake area of Los Angeles.
Steve Diet Goedde has been a fine art fetish photographer since 1990. He is known for his subtle approach to photographing the high-gloss fetish world in a very non-gloss, down-to-earth style. His attention to composition and black and white tonal quality has given him the title of the Ansel Adams of fetish. Steve established his photographic style in the early 1990s in Chicago where he photographed the contents of his first book "The Beauty of Fetish" (Edition Stemmle) which was released in 1998. That same year, Steve relocated to Los Angeles where he continued to define his evolving style. This west coast work was later compiled in his second Edition Stemmle book "The Beauty of Fetish: Volume II" in 2001. In 2006, Slish Pix released a DVD compilation of his work entitled "Living Through Steve Diet Goedde". In 2009, Steve has collaborated with French composer Robert Waechter on a CD entitled "GoeddeConcerto" (ReadyMade Music) in which the ConcertMaster of the Philharmonic of Nice, France interprets 21 of Steve's photographs into 21 mini-concertos. www.stevedietgoedde.com
