Pigalle, Los Angeles 2000 - Pigalle and I shot this in 2000 at Travel Town which is an outdoor train museum in Griffith Park in Los Angeles. Since no one is really allowed to shoot there (especially fetish-themed shoots), we had to be sneaky. We managed to take many shots completely undetected by the staff. The latex catsuit was designed by Pigalle herself. The photo originally appeared in my second book “The Beauty of Fetish: Volume II” (Edition Stemmle). 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
