A 19-year-old Russian student, Marat Dubili, climbed the highest building in Moscow to take some breathtaking and exquisite photos. Eighteen months ago, he bought a Canon camera and immediately decided to start taking some uniquely beautiful photos.

Initially, he climbed onto his own roof to capture stunning views from above, but soon he felt that the height was not enough and decided to climb higher places. Together with his brave friends and models, they snuck into some of Moscow's tallest buildings when the guards were not paying attention, producing these awe-inspiring pictures. These incredible photos show the bold young man walking on iron towers hundreds of feet high or strolling along the edge of a skyscraper without any safety measures such as wearing a safety harness.

Marat said: "When I am on top of a building, it feels like the whole world is at my feet. The only problem and trouble I face is the fear of slipping and falling down. Standing in high places excites me immensely. I am appreciating the scenery of my hometown. It fills me with energy and passion, and makes me want to take more new photos. I have always been very interested in photography, and I bought my first camera a few years ago. I wanted to use it to take the most astonishing photos I could - photos that no one has ever taken before. Initially, I took photos standing on my own roof, but soon I got bored and wanted to climb higher to take bigger and better photos."

"So I climbed a 33-story building with my friends. It is about 120 meters tall, and we walked to the edge of the building where I started taking photos. That was an exhilarating experience, and we really wanted to do it again. I cleverly avoided the security guards, illegally entered the building, and secretly climbed to the top to take a lot of photos. But I think it is worth taking some risks to get these amazing photos." Marat's photos show his friends wobbling on beams hundreds of feet above the ground. They did not use safety belts and could fall to their deaths at any moment. One photo shows these teenagers climbing one of Russia's seven Soviet-era skyscrapers, using a ladder to reach the edge of the building.

Another photo shows one of his friends standing on the edge of the monument to Peter the Great, which is 215 meters tall. These audacious young people even stood on top of the Moscow Tower to take photos. Marat said: "This building is 300 meters tall, and due to strong winds, it is quite difficult to take photos on it. I had to bend over and lean down to take photos. I also took photos from a still-in-use antenna tower that is 270 meters high. I am passionate about taking this kind of photo, but every time I climb to a high place and finish taking photos, I suffer from headaches for several days, possibly due to strong radiation. But all these sacrifices are worth it to get such photos."
