The Guardians

By Vladimir Antaki

For his project The Guardians Antaki traveled across Europe, the Middle East and America, photographing shopkeepers or 'Guardians'. These Guardians are keepers of what Antaki terms 'urban temples', unique spaces which, in an age of cookie-cutter, corporate shops, hearken back to an earlier time and mode of urban life. Antaki creates visually arresting portraits of the Guardians that make the viewer connect to the beauty of these often forgotten spaces.
