    The North Yorkshire photographer beat 90,000 entrants, from more than 50 countries, to scoop the top prize of £7,500 with her photogram print entitled Fireworks.

    The image shows Allium flower heads from her garden.

    Welham used a photogram printing process called wet cyanotype, where ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide are mixed to create a photosensitive solution which is then painted on watercolour paper and left to dry.

    The Alliums are placed between photosensitive paper and a plate of glass, and then exposed to light.

    When developed, the silhouettes from the flowers create an image on the paper in shades of green and blue.
