Many of us are guilty of spending too much time trying to craft the ultimate selfie - but few have actually dangled from the top of a building in order to get the perfect shot.

Enter Russian Instagram star 21-year-old Angela Nikolau, one half of a heights-loving couple who have found online stardom with their acrophobic-inducing selfies.

The act of climbing to dizzying heights without a harness is known as 'roofing' and involves climbing to the top of looming structures by any means possible - a daring and dangerous skill that is certainly not one to try at home.

Angela, whose motto is ‘no limit, no control’, has amassed over 150,000 followers on her Instagram where she regularly posts breathtaking shots of her adventures.
