Cylla von Tiedemann's shot for Soulpepper's ambitious Angels in America is perhaps one of the sexiest photos we've ever seen. Look closely. Actor Mike Ross is closing in for a kiss, his eyes cast downward at actor Gregory Prest's lips even as his own lips are slightly parted. This is a moment of high suspense we all know and that von Tiedemann has captured it - and Ross's frightening vulnerability - is an achievement above and beyond the composition which, as usual for the astounding Ms von Tiedemann, is beyond reproach.
