Shopkeeper
Shopkeeper
I was raised in Birkenhead, Auckland, where my father owned a pharmacy.
My dad had a great rapport with his customers, and I grew up in his shop,
spending a lot of my afternoons helping out.
With this project I’ve indulged my childhood. My Dad used to drop me at school
– his shop was a 10min walk away from home – and I remember holding his hand
and looking up at him as we walked.
Through these images I’m looking up to everyday shopkeepers, wherever
they are in the world. It’s tough owning a small business and doing it all yourself
and I want to make these everyday people look a little bit heroic.
