Averell Mondie

Averell Mondie hails from Memphis, TN. His self-taught photography focuses on portraiture, street photography, and photojournalism. Averell strives daily to capture city life, particularly in his hometown, in a unique gritty, moody, and minimalist style.

Spurred often by galvanizing community development, Averell walks, bikes, and buses through the corridors and alleys of Memphis, chasing light and exploring relics deeply rooted in the city’s past. His style becomes more defined daily, composing many of his shots with a cinematic frame, focusing on low light, aggressive shadows, and desaturated tone.
