Daniel King is an Australian fashion photographer based in New York. These images are from his body of work Ukraine Youth: Between Days published by Damiani in 2014. 

The "Rise up, Ukraine!" demonstrations which had started in May were beginning  to shake the capital when Daniel King photographed a defining moment for the country and its emerging youth. The sudden and almost invisible awakening of adulthood in the adolescents he photographed coincided with a movement of underground rebellion within the city.  

Weeks were spent documenting the architecture of the city and the remains of the Communist era. He met teenagers in the streets and then encountered them by the lakes or for drinks in the public parks, all the while establishing bonds that would ultimately lead them to share a house.
