Alan Newnham is an experienced food and still life photographer working in Clapham, South London. His commissioned food work covers a large number of clients. He also shoots a wide range of subjects for his personal portfolio and is particularly interested in taking individual studies of flowers, which he has done over a number of years.

Featured in this Showcase is a small selection of work taken from a series of The Hellebore - a winter flowering evergreen perennial, extremely hardy and frost resistant. There are a vast number of hybrids from single to double headed varieties with a striking range of colours. Hellebores thrive in deep shade, planted in fresh draining soil. They flower from late winter to early spring.
