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.

Ivy Red, San Francisco 1997 - Shot on Upper Haight, this was my first time shooting with Ivy. We would work together countless times many years later. www.stevedietgoedde.com
“Midori, Chicago 1997” - I don’t think I’ve ever published this shot of Midori before. It was taken back in 1997 when I lived in Chicago, and we were doing a 5-day photoshoot with the historic fetish collection of Gemini Klein. Here, Midori is wearing a old pair of platforms and a 1950s bathing suit. Shot with my ye olde Mamiya 645. www.stevedietgoedde.com
Masuimi Max, Beverly Hills 2001
This was the first time Masuimi and I shot together. We had met and taken a few snapshots (one of which made it into my second book “The Beauty of Fetish: Volume II”) at a lingerie convention in Las Vegas a few months prior. We shot this at my friend Dave Naz’s place (I’ve shot there many times). I believe it was fairly cold at the time, and Masuimi proved she was indeed a sport and braved my cruel demands.

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
