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.
Jeffrey Campbell Shoes, Los Angeles 2012 - Yee’s shoes photographed on a lazy Sunday afternoon with the iPhone 4.
Persephone, Los Angeles 1998 - From our first photoshoot shortly after I moved to Los Angeles from Chicago in 1998. Make-up by Cammy Ellis. Photographed with the Mamiya 645.
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.
Kumi, Santa Monica 2004 - An unpublished photo of Kumi from a shoot we did in a friend’s backyard in Santa Monica.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.
Courtney Cruz, Los Angeles 2002 - Courtney Cruz photographed in a friend’s backyard with the Mamiya 645. Corset and skirt by Puimond. 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
