Goedde Details: Aria Giovanni’s cleavage, Santa Monica 2004 - I never crop my photographs because I believe in composing at the time of exposure. However, sometimes there are little elements I like in photographs that 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.

Scary Lady Sarah, Chicago 1993 - I usually don’t do conceptual shoots but I periodically did this series where both the model and I were blindfolded. We would respond to each other mostly by voice, and I would point the camera in the model’s general direction. Using a manual focus camera, I also had to estimate how far or close she was to the camera. This was just one of the photos that ‘worked’. It was later published in my first book “The Beauty of Fetish” (Edition Stemmle, 1998). Photographed with the Canon A1.
Masuimi Max, Los Angeles 2002 - This has got to be one of my most known images. It was the cover of my DVD “Living Through Steve Diet Goedde” (Slish Pix, 2004 - available HERE). It was shot with all natural light in a friend’s loft in downtown Los Angeles. Many people assume her waist is digitally manipulated but it is not. I do not alter any of my photographs. She was able to corset down to a 17-inch waist but the effect is even more extreme because she’s somewhat leaning forward making the corset area of her body further back which only adds to the illusion the smallness of the waist.

Sascha, Desert Hot Springs 2010 - This is what happens when you fall asleep on your Blackberry while laying out in the sun. Photographed on Christmas day at Two Bunch Palms in Desert Hot Springs CA. Photographed with my iPhone.
