Mr Dupri commented saying 'When I'm on the roof, i feel that the whole world is by my feet, all my problems and troubles are left at the bottom. The height exhilarates me.

He also mentions that he started by going to the top of a 33 storey building with his friends.

'It was about 120 metres high, and we went right out to the edge and i started taking pictures. It was such a thrill that we couldn't wait to do it again.'

Marat Dupri admits that he has sneaked past guards to get illegal access to the buildings.

'I want to get the most spectacular pictures i could, like no one else had taken before. I think the risks are worth it to take such amazing pictures.' Dupri said.
