The American photographer has been shooting rave parties in Kiev for 6 years

American photographer Sean Schermerhorn dropped out of college and went to Ukraine in search of adventure. Earning a living from English lessons, he studied underground parties in Kiev and documented them.

Sean came to Kiev in 2010 and did not plan to stay in the city for more than six months. As a result , the photographer lived in Ukraine is six years old: photographed and organized parties, worked as a DJ. He experienced difficulties and crisis together with the Ukrainian youth and together with her engaged in escapism, which was embodied in constant raves.

The photos capture random moments: kisses, dancing and smiles.

The clothes at these rave parties seem to be inspired by the style of the 90s. Perhaps this is due to the fact that most of the guys have nothing to do, it is difficult for them to find a job. And dancing to techno is a great way to forget about your problems for a while."
