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.
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.
Here you’ll find press coverage, awards news and behind-the-scenes insights from commissioned projects, including women’s rugby, boxing and wider sports storytelling. If you’re researching women’s sport photography, looking for a sports photographer in London, or commissioning a campaign-led shoot, these features offer a clear window into my approach and values.
