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.
