Talk about risking your life for your craft. Photographer Navid Baraty has no problem leaning over some of New York and Tokyo‘s tallest skyscrapers — no harnesses or safety gear involved — in order to get a good shot. The 31-year-old artist admits his photography can induce vertigo in some, although his aim is not to make people ill but to show them an interesting view of cities most do not get to experience.
Are you dizzy yet? Check out the photos below from Baraty’s “Intersection” collection and you probably will be.
