Aindreas Scholz

Born in Wiesbaden, Germany, to an Anglo-Irish mother and a Sudeten-German father,
Scholz was raised in a bilingual household, immersed in diverse cultural influences,
and split his upbringing between Ireland and Germany. He embarked on his creative
journey at Technological University Dublin, studying photography under Dr. Anthony Haughey,
which ignited his passion for visual storytelling. Scholz further honed his skills at
Goldsmiths College, London, studying with Turner Prize-winning artists such as Dr. Elizabeth
Price and Grayson Perry, shaping his critical and contemporary artistic perspective.

Alongside his work, Scholz trained as a photography teacher at UCL’s Institute of
Education, London, focusing on nurturing the creative potential of young learners.
His teaching deepened his understanding of the creative process and reinforced his
commitment to inspiring future photographers.

Since 2017, his work has focused on examining human impact on the environment, addressing
themes like war, pollution, and climate change. His practice includes innovative, sustainable,
and 19th-century cameraless photographic techniques aimed at raising environmental awareness.
Scholz’s art has been showcased in important 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.

His works are part of notable collections such as the Office of Public Works in Ireland
and the NHS Foundation Trust in England. Currently based in London, Scholz continues to
explore the boundaries of alternative photography, conducting international workshops
and fostering dialogues on sustainability and environmental responsibility.

Scholz currently resides and works in London, United Kingdom.
