Speaking to the Daily Star, photographer Sergey Semenov said some of the locations were difficult to capture by drone.

"All these places we photographed by using radio controlled helicopters – drones.

"Sometimes it wasn't very easy to shoot there, because special permission is required in some of these locations.

"As drones become more popular, it got almost impossible to use it in many places."
