Phoebe L’amour, Salton Sea 2010 - Phoebe and I headed out to the Salton Sea a few years ago in early spring. It’s the best time of the year there because it’s not hot and the stench of dead fish is at a minimum. When it gets up to 120 degrees in the summer, it’s beyond challenging. Hard to believe that people actually live there. Photographed with my Mamiya 645.
Phoebe L’amour, Salton Sea 2010
Phoebe and I headed out to the Salton Sea and had a great time shooting and exploring. It’s the best time of the year there because it’s not hot and the stench of dead fish is at a minimum. When it gets up to 120 degrees in the summer, it’s beyond challenging. Hard to believe that people actually live there.

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
