Goedde Details: Aria Giovanni’s face from 2001. I never crop my photographs because I believe in composing at the time of exposure. However, sometimes there are little elements in photographs which on their own don’t work as a whole. This is what the Goedde Details series is for me. Discarded elements brought to life in a new context. Follow me on Instagram at ‘stevedietgoedde’
Goedde Details: Aria Giovanni’s cleavage, Santa Monica 2004 - I never crop my photographs because I believe in composing at the time of exposure.

Aria Giovanni, Pasadena 2002 - A previously unpublished photo of Aria Giovanni shot in the rain at a friend’s house in Pasadena. It was cold and wet that January day, but Aria was a real trooper, and we both managed to not get sick.
Aria Giovanni, Beverly Hills 2001 - I had found this beautiful sequined 1960s dress at a thrift store and was eager to shoot it on someone who’s figure complimented it. It fit Aria perfectly and once she stepped into the direct sunlight, the whole neighborhood was blinded with the reflected beams of sunlight. Shot with the Mamiya 645. www.stevedietgoedde.com
Aria Giovanni, Pasadena 2002

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
