16 pictures of colorful shops from around the world from a Canadian photographer

We live in a hurry and often do not notice how much is beautiful around. Even to take ordinary shops: we come only for the purpose of buying something. But some outlets are so interesting that I want to consider every detail in them. These are exactly the shops Montreal photographer Vladimir Antaki finds. He spends the whole day with the owners of these shops, and then photographs them, trying to capture such a simple but interesting life in each shot. Vladimir traveled to several continents and captured shops in American cities, in Europe and the Middle East. He has been working on a series of these photographs for several years, and he gave the name of his project a very simple one: "Keepers". Yes, that's what you can call people who are engaged in small trade. This business is in jeopardy today: large stores are crowding them out, and probably there will soon be no such original shops at all.
