World Sports Photography Finalist 2026: Women’s Rugby
Being selected as a World Sports Photography Awards finalist 2026 for my work at the Women’s Rugby World Cup is both an honour and a moment of reflection. This project was about committing to women’s rugby at scale, navigating real financial and logistical challenges, and staying true to a belief that these stories deserve time, care and visibility. This post offers a behind-the-scenes insight into the work, the archive, and why making it mattered so much to me.
Rugby Journal 30: Rugby, Representation and Real Stories
In a borough better known for football, one rugby club is rewriting the playbook on community, identity and grit. Through my lens, Haringey Rhinos’ story unfolded not just in tackles and scrums, but in shared laughter, fierce pride, and a celebration of difference. This is rugby how it really looks and how it really feels.
Feel the Fight: Haringey Box Cup 2025
A few weeks ago, I photographed the legendary Haringey Box Cup, one of Europe’s largest and most respected amateur boxing tournaments. I went with a very intentional lens. I wanted to feel into the atmosphere, not just observe it. That place you ringside as if you were right there too.
In a world chasing speed and perfection, I’m leaning into the imperfect. The raw, the real, the human-made images that move you. AI can impersonate a picture, but it can’t feel a moment. Because embracing imperfection, I think that’s the new creative superpower.
Sports Category AOP Award Finalist, A Full Circle Moment
Being a finalist in the 39th AOP Awards meant the absolute world to me, not just for my own journey, but for the recognition of women’s sport in a space that often overlooks it.
The student in me who once dreamed of being part of this organisation would be proud. But more importantly, it’s a win for visibility, for the women in sport whose stories deserve to be told and celebrated. And for that, this moment will always be bigger than just me.
Force of Nature: A Photographic Journey Through Stillness
In a time when the world paused, nature didn’t. ‘Force of Nature’ is a deeply personal and soulful photography project born from lockdown stillness and reconnection to home. Elite London photographer Karen Yeomans turns her lens to frozen wildflowers, each one captured with symbolic weight, beauty, and technical precision. With macro detail and poetic storytelling, this series invites us to find resilience, healing, and belonging in the smallest corners of the natural world.
Shaping the Future of Women’s
Sports Photography
Because women’s sport deserves to be seen with honesty, energy, and respect
I’m Karen Yeomans, a London-based sports photographer specialising in women’s sport, movement and performance. This Press & News page brings together interviews, features and long-form stories that explore what it really takes to photograph elite sport and why representation behind the camera matters.
My work focuses on power, resilience, community and visibility. I photograph female athletes with the same intensity, craft and editorial intention historically reserved for men’s sport, creating imagery that feels real, cinematic and human.
