Aindreas Scholz

Born in Wiesbaden, Germany, to an Anglo-Irish mother and a Sudeten-German father,
Scholz grew up bilingually, spending his childhood between Ireland and Germany.
He discovered his passion for photography at Technological University Dublin under
the guidance of Dr. Anthony Haughey, igniting a lasting commitment to visual narration.
After relocating to the UK, Scholz refined his creative voice at Goldsmiths College, London,
studying under Turner Prize-winning artists Dr. Elizabeth Price and Mark Leckey, which shaped
his critical and contemporary perspective.

In parallel with his artistic pursuits, Scholz later trained as a photography teacher at
UCL's Institute of Education, London, focusing on nurturing the creative potential of young
learners. This experience deepened his understanding of both the creative and pedagogical process,
reinforcing his commitment to inspiring the next generation of photographers.

Since 2017, Scholz's work has centred on exploring humanity's environmental impact, addressing
themes such as war, pollution, and climate change. His practice incorporates innovative,
sustainable, and 19th-century cameraless techniques to raise ecological awareness. Scholz's
art has been showcased in notable exhibitions, including the Rotlicht Festival in Vienna (2022, 2023),
the Vintage Grand Prix 2024 in Bydgoszcz, and Select/24 at Photofusion, London,
where he was a joint winner.
