VERY scantily clad models pose perilously close to the edge of tall buildings in New York

A series of stomach-churning photographs see models teetering dangerously close to the edge of New York City's tallest buildings.   

The incredible pictures are part of a series called Beauty And NYC which sees the women lying on ledges and peering out at the surrounding skyline.

However, these models are not here to show off any clothing, with all pictured in next to nothing and some even posing nude.  

Photographer Mar Shirasuna, from Japan, has been shooting New York for the past three years, and he estimates he has been on more than 150 rooftops in the process.
