Bio

Aindreas Scholz (b. Wiesbaden, Germany) is an Anglo-Irish/Sudeten-German photographer based in London. Working with analogue and cameraless techniques, his practice bridges 19th-century photographic processes with contemporary concerns around ecology, deep time and climate breakdown. He regularly collaborates with natural elements such as sunlight, polluted seawater, vulnerable plant matter and acidic rain, allowing environmental conditions to leave their own material trace within the image. Scholz’s work often examines the entangled relationships between humans, non-humans and the environments they inhabit, paying particular attention to sites of ecological vulnerability. In ongoing projects such as 'And So I Watch You From Afar', he explores landscapes from the storm-battered coasts of the Outer Hebrides, Scotland, to drought-stricken regions of Failaka Island, Kuwait, using archival watercolour papers and eco-friendly cyanotype chemistry to develop more sustainable printing methods. The resulting images sit somewhere between photograph, painting and imprint, foregrounding both the precarity and resilience of the places they depict. His work has been shown widely across Europe, including at Photofusion’s SALON/24 (London), Rotterdam Photo Festival, Rotlicht Festival for Analog Photography (Vienna), Climanosco (Schaffhausen), and Extraction: Loss and Restoration (King’s Lynn), among others. In 2024 he was a finalist in the Vintage Grand Prix and continues to expand his research into environmentally responsible photographic practice. Scholz’s photographs are held in public and private collections including the Office of Public Works (Ireland), NHS Foundation Trust (England), and galleries in Germany and Belgium. Alongside his studio practice he teaches art and photography in further education, supporting young people from diverse backgrounds to access creative study and careers.
