Russian student Marat Dupri, 19, bought a camera 18 months ago and decided to start taking shots of beautiful views. He began climbing onto roofs to capture spectacular views from the air - before deciding to go to even greater heights. Together with his fearless friends and models, he has sneaked past guards at some of Moscow’s tallest structures - to produce stomach-churning images.

Spotted once in 1840 and then never seen again, one of the world’s most bioluminescent mushrooms has been rediscovered deep in the Brazilian wilderness.
