Vertigo Inducing Photography By Vadim Mahorov

Well if there's one thing that Vadim Mahorov has going for him, its his utter disregard for any sense of self preservation. I recently ran into the Russian photographers work on his blog, and was stunned by the sheer insanity of some of the angles that he managed to capture, sans harness or restraint. The end result though is nothing short of stunning, and he's among a very small percentile of photographers who'd be willing to risk that single most important asset, their life in order to capture that perfect shot. Now that's passion.



On a related note, remember that video that went viral sometime late last year? It featured a few kids with Gopros and Canon cameras climbing the guide wires of a bridge to the top illegally with no care in the world? Well due to the fact that the video has been circulated and reposted on Youtube a million times (Making the original source impossible to track), its quite possible that this is the same group that Vadim has in some of his shots filming themselves getting to a viewpoint for taking pictures (Check at 10:30). That aside, check out more of his incredible shots after the break!
