Michael C Coldwell is a multimodal artist and media researcher. He works as a lecturer in phototgraphy at the University of Leeds, and has published, exhibited and released work under several different names, such as Dr. Michael Schofield, Conflux Coldwell and CC. He is also a founding member of the Urban Exploration collective (UE) and Crooked Acres Records. He is known for his practice research in hauntology, memory, and the changing nature of the image. He is also a critically acclaimed musician and award-winning filmmaker. His work often pushes at the boundaries of what we consider to be photography in the 21st century, and it explores how new technologies and practices are haunted by what came before.

This page features his recent and key work. Coldwell’s practice has begun investigating virtual photography, AI and generative art, while continuing his interest in threatened and haunted landscapes, the post-industrial, dark tourism, hidden histories and environmental change.
