Up in the sky, look:
It's a bird. It's a plane. It's … Andrew Tso. Like a real-life
Superman, Andrew Tso leaps atop tall buildings — maybe not with a single
bound. But the dizzying images he captures from skyscrapers look
superhuman, indeed.
The Hong Kong-based photographer has made a career
out of scaling buildings around the globe: London, Paris, Toronto, Hong
Kong, Toronto, Seoul, the list goes on.
And the 26-year-old
self-proclaimed "rooftopper" has been climbing buildings since he was a
kid. "Being at the top is always a thrill, and no matter what people say
about being fearless, there's always an element of uncertainty and
fear,"
"Sometimes you just
have to put yourself in an awkward/unsure situation to capture what you
want." If you're afraid of heights, these awe-inspiring shots might not
be for you.
