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

Porcelain Twinz, Los Angeles 2002 - Portland’s creative duo, The Porcelain Twinz, lived briefly in Los Angeles in 2002. I forget how we met, but we managed to do a few photoshoots. They had just moved into their place and had minimal furniture. The starkness of this old Hollywood apartment was a dream location to shoot in. For most of their shoots, they always wore identical outfits. I was okay with that concept, so I picked out a simple ensemble of only gloves and stockings. Unfortunately, they could only find one set of each pair of gloves and stockings. I enjoy turning limitations into creative potential, so that’s how I came up with the idea of them sharing the single pairs. Not only is it visually interesting, it plays into the whole mystique of twins actually being one person but having two bodies. 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
