Steve Diet Goedde
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.
Julie Strain, Beverly Hills 2003 - Photographed at Julie Strain’s home in Beverly Hills with the Mamiya 645.
Kumi, Santa Monica 2004 - An unpublished photo of Kumi from a shoot we did in a friend’s backyard in Santa Monica. She’s wearing houndstooth House of Harlot latex overalls. Shot with my Mamiya 645 with Tmax 400 film.
Sorry for the extra large watermark. I’m getting more and more frustrated by the inconsiderate jerks out there who steal art, strip off watermarks, redistribute, and don’t even credit their sources.
Lauren WK, Los Angeles 2011 - Lauren WK styled by Katja Ehrhardt of High Gloss Dolls. Make-up by Tegan Rice. Photographed with the Mamiya 645 with Tmax 400 film.
Steve Diet Goedde’s spread featuring Ancilla Tilia for Syren Latex in Von Gutenberg Magazine No. 6.
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
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.
Rose, Seattle 2006 - Photographed at a small Seattle airport. We even did some shots while flying but it’s super compact in those Cessna cabins so it’s hard to get varied angles. It’s like trying to shoot in the back of a VW Beetle. Rose wears one of her self-designed iconic Imp of Satan PVC catsuits. Photographed with the Yashica T4. www.stevedietgoedde.com
Porcelain Twinz, Los Angeles 2002 - Portland’s creative duo, The Porcelain Twinz, lived briefly in Los Angeles in 2002. I forget how we met, but we managed to do a few photoshoots. They had just moved into their place and had minimal furniture. The starkness of this old Hollywood apartment was a dream location to shoot in. For most of their shoots, they always wore identical outfits. I was okay with that concept, so I picked out a simple ensemble of only gloves and stockings. Unfortunately, they could only find one set of each pair of gloves and stockings. I enjoy turning limitations into creative potential, so that’s how I came up with the idea of them sharing the single pairs. Not only is it visually interesting, it plays into the whole mystique of twins actually being one person but having two bodies. www.stevedietgoedde.com
Yee, Joshua Tree 2011 - My girlfriend and I spent three wonderful days at a beautiful mid-century modern home in the middle of the desert outside of Joshua Tree. We relaxed, cooked, soaked in the tub, and spied the many desert critters curious of our presence. Oh, and we took some photos too. This was shot with my Mamiya 645 with Tmax 400 film. www.stevedietgoedde.com
About
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
