Gerard Allon was one of the leaders of the change in Israeli photography in the dramatic decade following the Yom Kippur War. A retrospective look at his work reveals an outstanding photographer who managed to capture the social energies of a turbulent period, bringing the artistic closer to the popular and the commercial to the social. Alon formulated a new professional approach to the growing field of record covers, he was a fashion photographer and photographer-in-residence at Habima Theater, and at the same time, created significant personal works.

The exhibition "Facial close-up, camera Zoom Out", focuses on the photographic works on the subject of music that Allon created from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s. These photographs, created for record companies and public relations firms, highlight Gerard Allon's abilities as a photographer-artist. This exhibition is part of the exhibition "Gerard Alon – A Retrospective", presented at the Ashdod Museum of Art.
