Photographing the Anglo-American Padel Cup 2025
When I stepped onto the court as the official photographer for the inaugural Anglo-American Padel Cup, I didn’t know what to expect. Fresh from photographing the Rugby World Cup, I was craving something new and padel turned out to be exactly that: fast, social, inclusive, and visually alive. Photographing this growing sport in such a friendly setting reminded me why I love what I do, finding rhythm, competition and connection in sport.
Rugby World Cup 'Where We Belong' Launch
On a bright Saturday in Brighton, I had the privilege of photographing the launch of ‘Where We Belong’ a powerful campaign unveiled at the very top of the i360. The event also marked the Women’s Rugby World Cup and UK Sport’s joint pledge to drive greater inclusion across the British sports industry.
SportsAid Wheelchair Basketball Tournament 2025
The fast-paced, emotionally charged energy of wheelchair basketball isn’t something you just watch, you feel it. In March 2025, I had the privilege of photographing the SportsAid Wheelchair Basketball Tournament at Copper Box Arena. The roar of the crowd, the intensity on court, the joyful camaraderie between players. It was a masterclass in resilience, inclusivity and fierce competition. This is the kind of work that fuels me as a documentary & sports event photographer. This is the story behind the images.
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.
