Ray Manzarek, Los Angeles 1998 - Sorry to hear of the passing of Ray Manzarek. I had the pleasure of taking his portrait back in 1998. He was a very cool, pleasant man to hang with. After the Doors, he further cemented his coolness when he teamed up with X for their first two albums. Thanks, Ray.
Jennifer, Los Angeles 2000 - Photographed on the side of my old apartment building in Hollywood. Latex dress by Pigalle. Photographed with the Mamiya 645. On behalf of all artists, please give credit and respect copyright. Thanks!
Panda Sexpress 2011 - I uploaded a ‘prequel’ to this two years ago and always meant to follow it up with this striptease version. Now, on its two-year anniversary, I give you the intended short film featuring Caroline Aquino. NSFW! NUDITY! A few limited edition Panda Sexpress prints still available on my site HERE.
Ulorin Vex, Los Angeles 2012 - Dress by Pinup Girl Clothing. Hair/Makeup by Miss Ruby. Special thanks to Ulorin Vex and Laura Byrnes. Photographed with the Mamiya 645. Print available upon request.

Here’s the official announcement for my upcoming solo show in Hong Kong. Like a lot of big art shows in Asia, this one is not in a gallery but in a shopping mall. The Landmark is Hong Kong’s ritziest luxury mall/hotel so the work will be seen by hundreds of thousands of people who normally wouldn’t see my work. There won’t be an actual opening - the work will just be on display starting the beginning of April. I was offered an opening, but I just got back from HK a few months ago and it’s just way too soon for me to do that whole international flying thing again. More show info soon…
Gina Velour, Hollywood 2000 - My long-time muse/friend Marne Lucas (AKA Gina Velour) photographed at the Alto Nido apartments in Hollywood which provided some of the exteriors in the classic film “Sunset Boulevard”. Marne is shooting me with her Yashica T4 while I shoot her with my Mamiya 645. This image was originally published in my second book “The Beauty of Fetish: Volume II” (Edition Stemmle). On behalf of all artists, please give credit and respect copyright. Thanks!
Kumi, San Francisco 1996 - This was the second shoot I did with Kumi - the first one was the Chinatown shoot with Midori. The shoot was organized by Molly who owned and designed for So Hip It Hurts latex. This is a scaled down version of a new one-gigabyte scan from the the original negative. The image originally appeared in my first book The Beauty of Fetish (Edition Stemmle). Photographed with the Mamiya 645 as usual.
I’m honored to be one of the first photographers to ever be included in the LALUZAPALOOZA group show (their 27th annual!) at La Luz de Jesus Gallery in Hollywood this Friday night (March 1st). I’ll be in attendance at the opening reception.
In regards to show, LA Weekly mentions my “cryptic and humorous erotic photography” in this listing for the exhibition.
Opening reception:
Friday, March 1st - 8-11pm
La Luz de Jesus Gallery
4633 Hollywood Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90027
Please Reblog
I sent the above e-mail to Tumblr (support@tumblr.com) this evening. I just received the following response:Hi Stephen,
I can’t tell you how much we value your support and feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time to let us know about this, and we’ll share your request with the rest of our team.
Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with.
Thanks,
Doug

Tumblr.com / Photoset.com Support.I would urge all of you artists, models, photographers and other contributors/posters of original content to send similar messages, as this is an issue which affects all of us and which should be remedied.
There is no reason why anyone should be able to reblog the work which we worked so hard to create and then either remove credits or pass the work off as their own.
Of course, people will always be able to steal our work but I think the modification that I have requested would certainly reduce the number of reblogs that delete our credits.
Please reblog this post AND, if you’re inclined, send an e-mail to Tumblr support to join in my request for this modification.

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
