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.
Black Widow & Ivy, Los Angeles 2000 - Photographed on the side of my old house in Hollywood. This is an outtake from the same shoot as this better-known photo from my second book. Photographed with the Mamiya 645 with Tmax 400 film. www.stevedietgoedde.com
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
Dara, San Francisco 2000 - Dara had these fantastic PVC thigh-highs which fit her so perfectly. Sometimes I find it extremely erotic to isolate the focus of the fetish and remove the human element from the photo, such as in case. Don’t get me wrong, normally I love to highlight the personal elements of my models but sometimes the fetish appeal takes over especially when it makes for a compositionally compelling photograph. www.stevedietgoedde.com

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
