This adventure photo series is indicative of a world in which many people are willing to do anything to achieve viral fame.
Russian risk-taker Angela Nikolau does not mind being in dangerous positions in order to capture profound selfies and photos. The adventurer is seen standing or sitting atop many different skyscrapers, buildings and construction sites in extremely precarious positions. The risk-taker is clearly a very skilled athlete with the ability to climb and balance well, but it is still difficult to fathom how she has the bravado to follow through with putting herself in near-death situations.
This inspiring adventure photo series captures beautiful images that, although stomach-churning, show Russian architecture and views in a way that is not often done.
