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.
Shantelle, Los Angeles 2004 - Photographed during a behind-the-scenes segment for my 2005 DVD Living Through Steve Diet Goedde. Photographed with the Mamiya 645.
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.
Justine Joli, Los Angeles 2006 - Justine fabulously wears a Syren latex ensemble. Justine and I had known each other for years but never actually shot anything until about six years after initially meeting. Sometimes shoots just take a while to happen. We shot this at my buddy Dave Naz’s house in Laurel Canyon. Justine was standing against an outdoor glass sliding door, and I had to get very narrow and thin so you couldn’t see my reflection behind her in the window. After this personal shoot, I started shooting her regularly for Stockroom/Syren. www.stevedietgoedde.com
Alejandra Guerrero, El Mirage CA 2008 - Photographed in the Mojave Desert on Tmax 400 film with a Holga camera. Alejandra’s Tumblr feed: http://corporatevampire.tumblr.com | www.stevedietgoedde.com
Mosh, Pasadena 2011 - Mosh and I finally worked together in March of 2011 after a year of procrastinating. We did this shoot guerrilla-style driving through Pasadena finding little areas that were suitable visual environments for her style and my aesthetics. Shot with the Mamiya 645 with Tmax 400 film. www.stevedietgoedde.com
Laura Doré, Los Angeles 2011 - From an editorial shoot I did with pin-up model Laura Doré exclusively for AltExclusive.com.
Jillian Ann, Los Angeles 2001 - From my first shoot with Jillian Ann in 2001. It was shot on the side of my house when I lived in Hollywood. It was one of those lighting moments that only lasted a few minutes. It was up to me to recognize it at the time and take full advantage of it. www.stevedietgoedde.com
Paris Kennedy, Los Angeles 2005 - Photographed with the Mamiya 645 with Tmax 400 film. As usual, all natural light. 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
