LOCAL photographer Paul Smith gives lovers of music a glimpse into his glamourous life with his Sunday Portrait Project Exhibition on now at the J, Noosa.
The enthralling exhibition showcases portraits of interesting personalities he has photographed from high profile musicians and celebrities through to everyday unknowns he met on the street.
The year-long project features 52 portraits taken by Paul, accompanied by short commentaries providing insight into the subjects, which were posted to his Facebook page every Sunday throughout 2015.
The portraits include some big names including musical legend James Brown, songstress Florence Welch, controversial TV chef and Paleo advocate Pete Evans, Olympian Ian Thorpe, Australian Aboriginal musician Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu and many more.
You can check out the 52 portraits from now until 31 January at the J Lounge, 60 Noosa Drive, Noosa Junction between 10am and 5pm.
