For his photo series titled “Beauty And NYC,” Japanese photographer Mar Shirasuna somehow convinced a bunch of models to balance on the edge of some of the tallest skyscrapers in New York City.
Shirasuna has been shooting in NYC for over three years, and his work can be seen in his exhibit “NYC from Above.”
Shirasuna wanted to give people a different perspective when he thought up this idea: “I wanted a fresh view of New York City, so I climbed to the rooftops of 150 different buildings around town to find cityscapes I had never seen before, and found views that I don’t think many New Yorkers have even had the chance to see,” Shirasuna tells NY Daily News.
Take a look at some of Shirasuna’s crazy photo series courtesy of his Instagram:
