Steve Diet Goedde has been a fine art fetish photographer for nearly 18 years. 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. Vicki Goldberg, the photography critic for the New York Times, provided the introduction to Goedde’s book. She has also produced the 6-part BBC documentary on the history of 20th Century photography and is the author of "Margaret Bourke-White: A Biography” and the 1991 book “The Power of Photography: How Photographs Changed Our Lives.” In 1998 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. His two books are regarded as classics in both the erotic arts and in photography fine art circles. 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 Goedde Concerto (ReadyMade Music) in which the ConcertMaster of the Philharmonic of Nice, France interprets 21 of Steve's photographs into 21 mini-concertos. C&F was honored to have Steve as a guest speaker in February 2000 and November of 2003. He returns to give a presentation of new work with live commentary. He will show photographs taken in his trademark black and white style in addition to his experimentation with less-than-professional photographic methods. Q&A is encouraged during the presentation on everything from technical to aesthetic issues. He will also be discussing his Goedde Concerto CD, a recent multi-media collaboration with French classical composer Robert Waechter.
