Angela Nikolau, can't you just find some good lighting and call it a day?

The Moscow-based photographer is making guts churn across the globe with her daredevil selfies. It's hard to look at them, but it's also hard to look away, you know? Ugh.

If the pit in your stomach feels familiar, it's because this has happened before. In 2014, a group of Instagrammers tested their scary selfie limits with Rooftopping. (One photographer even got arrested for trespassing.)
