Austin mcManus : Partner In Crime

Last year Austin McManus' did a great zine by the name of “Partners In Crime“, which basically was about girls doing graff - for the first time ever in the majority of cases.
He now turned highlights from that publication into prints in editions of 20 that you can purchase over here. (Forty)

“(...) I shot a few photos while she sprayed and I didn’t look at them for another year or so. I remember vividly how wide her smile was and how ecstatic she was after doing it. 
When I came across the photos of her later, I noticed a certain innocence and playfulness that I have never seen with any of my photos of people tagging/painting. A lot had to do with it being her first time, along with looking like the girl-next-door. I hope the project challenges gender-based stereotypes commonly associated with vandalism, while offering an alternative perspective on the physical act of writing graffiti.“
