City Scums is a interesting photo project from some photographers from the Kiev graffiti scene. Their unique look at life through the lens of the camera produces some very interesting shots that describe the daily life of the youth living in the Ukraine today.

The project has also been complimented with the release of a limited magazine where the best pictures out of this series have been featured. We suggest it would be best, if you read by yourself how they describe themselves!

The “WE ARE THE CITY SCUM” ‘foto-punk’ zine is a collective contribution work of the four sophisticated graffiti writers and enthusiastic photographers from Ukraine. Their ‘trashrealistic’ chronicles reflect the spirit, the feeling and the views of new emancipated Ukrainian youth.
