Paul and Sam: black and white

A black and white departure for Paul Smith.

Eclectic Noosa photographer Paul Smith is best known for his incredible local land and seascapes, but he has also made an international name for himself documenting fashion and rock music.

Now, his latest venture is a collaborative exhibition called Nothing is Black and White, with life partner Samantha Anderson of Stone and Metal. The exhibition showcases Paul’s exquisite fine art photography and Sam’s unique handcrafted jewellery, linked by the common themes of textures, shapes, and the celebration of the feminine form.

The exhibition opens this Sunday 16 October, and will be on display for three weeks at the Paul Smith Images Gallery.

Paul’s work is an exciting departure from his usual style, moving away from landscape and into a creative exploration of the female form. Sam’s sensual jewellery reflects this theme, with the pieces featuring organic curves and tactile surfaces. Working primarily with silver, and including some luminous baroque pearls, she embraces their irregularities, believing that beauty is often found in imperfection.
