If you’re interested in urban exploration, roof topping, cityscapes, and industrial architecture, the Sifter highly recommends the LiveJournal blog of Vadim Makhorov. Vadim is a talented photographer with a knack for finding vantage points of cities that most people will never experience.
Architecture & Design hasn’t featured Vadim’s incredible work before. That is because he and his friends will ascend tall buildings and structures (sometimes illegally) to get unique views of cities. He and his friends also gained quite a bit of notoriety earlier this year after illegally scaling one of the pyramids in Giza, Egypt.
Back in March, Vadim took a trip to Dubai with some friends. In an epicΒ 60-photo blog post, Vadim shared his incredible perspective of Dubai with the world. I’ve posted a few of my personal favorites below, but be sure to head to the original postΒ to see all of them.
