The artist spent 140 days in jail because of his risk-taking photography
"High above cities around the world, artist Isaac Wright has illicitly taken photographs from perches that few people will ever grace. The self-taught artist and urban explorer has climbed New York City skyscrapers, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and even the Great Pyramid of Giza.
The resulting images are nothing short of awe-provoking, like the photographs he took of the RAMS in September, as the graffiti artist rappelled down a 43-story abandoned New York City skyscraper to spray paint his name across the construction shed high up on 45 Park Place.
RAMS’s piece was stunning, but Wright’s documentation of the ephemeral work showed off not only its bold lettering, but the beauty of the surrounding skyline, the sky gradually lightening as night wore into morning. RAMS clearly was at work for hours, giving Wright time to take photos from various different vantage points atop neighboring buildings."
