Moscow photographer Vitaly Raskalov, 18, climbs as high as he can to take a bird’s eye view, despite the danger of heights and of arrest. Originally from Kyiv, Raskalov started photographing only two years ago and refers to himself as a “roofer” – someone who shoots pictures from building tops to capture breathtaking views.

His altitude record so far is climbing to the top of the 302-meter “City of Capitals” skyscraper in Moscow.
But Raskalov doesn’t limit himself to just heights and also goes to extreme depths — places like subway tunnels.

He used to study journalism, but was kicked out of university when he decided to go to Siberia instead of taking his final exams.
Now all he knows about his future is that he doesn’t want to join the army.

For the time being, Raskalov uploads his work, along with a description of the location and a back story, to his Live Journal blog, which has about 8,000 followers.
