About

Aindreas Scholz is a German-Irish photographer based in London, working with cameraless and ecological photographic processes. He makes climate-adapted works that collaborate with sunlight, water chemistry, and plant matter, inviting rain, seawater, salinity, and disturbed soils to physically imprint the photographic surface. His images sit between aesthetics and proof: photographs that function as material traces of place, contamination, and vulnerability. 

Scholz is represented by In-Dependance and has exhibited widely across the UK and Europe, including solo and two-person presentations as well as important group shows spanning analogue and sustainable photography contexts. His practice has been supported through awards and grants, including Arts Council England and research support from Paul Mellon Centre. His work is held in public and institutional collections, including the Office of Public Works (Ireland) and NHS Foundation Trusts (UK).

Alongside his studio practice, he lectures and leads workshops on sustainable analogue and historical processes. He studied photography at Technological University Dublin, completed postgraduate study in fine art at Goldsmiths, University of London, and trained as an educator at University College London.

Rather than treating climate change as an image problem, Scholz approaches photography as a material system that can be reworked: a practice of testing, measuring, and taking responsibility for chemistry, water, and waste. His ongoing projects ask what it would mean for photographic making to become an active form of care, one that helps reshape the medium’s footprint, not just its narratives.
