About Alon Goldsmith
Dubbed “LA’s iPhoneography Wizard” by Forbes magazine, Alon Goldsmith is an award-winning photographer who has been featured extensively across media and exhibited in galleries around the globe. Alon is a member of Street L.A., a photo collective that meets up on weekends to shoot on the streets of Los Angeles.
Alon’s achievements include overall winner of the MIRA Mobile Prize in 2022, 3rd place in the Los Angeles Center of Photography’s Street Photography Around the World Competition, and runner up in the journalism category in the prestigious MPAs, as well as numerous honorable mentions across other categories. He has also achieved wins in the Hipstography Awards, and numerous honorable mentions in the iPhone Photography Awards and the MIRA Mobile Prize. Alon was a jury member for the 2018 and 2019 MPAs. His work has also been published in the Los Angeles Times, Reader's Digest, Frames Magazine and the App Whisperer, and has been extensively featured in Snap and Mobiography magazines. Alon has published two books: IN PLACE | PORTRAITS OF A PANDEMIC and 365 DAYS IN THE TIME OF CORONA.
Alon shares his iPhoneograpy expertise in a series of eight articles written for Imagine More, a digital publication published by Manfrotto, one of the world’s leading photography accessory companies. His images have been featured in solo shows in New York, Brentwood, Topanga Canyon and San Diego, as well as at HaleARTS in Santa Monica and the Los Angeles Center for Digital Arts. Alon’s photography has appeared internationally in galleries in Canada, Italy, Portugal, and Belgium.
As one of the pioneers of the mobile art revolution, Alon is one of 234 global artists featured on The Quilt Project, a textile art collaboration commemorating 10 years of the Mobile Arts from 2008 to 2018.
In 2021, Alon received a grant from the Helms Bakery District and the Culver City Arts Foundation and had his work featured as part of Projecting Possibilities, a video installation that featured a new artist each week for 52 weeks, an entire year of rotating digital art exhibitions to celebrate, nourish, support, and promote Los Angeles-based artists.
In 2022, Alon shared the screen with more than 30 of Los Angeles’s photography luminaries in Projecting L.A., an annual event that takes places in a parking lot the size of a football field where photographs set to music are projected 80 feet high on the side of a four-story building.
