This photographic story portrays
what shop-keepers do in their freetime,
when their shops are empty.
Whether it’s sleeping,
looking bored out of their minds
or just scowling at the lack of business,
these photographs capture the emotion of shop-keepers
as they mind their own business
or in some cases, the lack of it.
Some images have been shot in B&W
to accentuate the emotional elements
of the photograph.
None of these shopkeepers were told to pose,
or that a photograph was about to be taken.
