Called to climb: Why I take photographs from skyscrapers

Outlook

Available for over a year

Isaac Wright was a US army veteran living with PTSD when he picked up his camera and started to climb. Still in his early 20s, he found that climbing buildings - and taking pictures of the dazzling views below - gave him a sense of peace and purpose. As he travelled across the US with his camera, scaling skyscrapers and bridges, Isaac felt he had finally found his calling. But not everyone would see it that way. Climbing skyscrapers is usually illegal and it was about to catch up with him.
