Me i have problems shooting anything shorter than 90. MAYBE on a good day a 50. A 21? Completely insane! Until the day i finally try it perhaps! I love Sieff's tight grain sharp crisp work. He's won several awards for that in contrast to his soft subjects. But what is it with these French guy's fixation with womens rear ends? I can't make head nor hare out of it! But I'll take Bailey over Sieff. I get the impression Bailey is shooting every day. Sieff on weekends.
