Shortlisted Again: Rugby Photographer of the Year
For the fifth time, my work was shortlisted for Rugby Photographer of the Year. I was away on assignment and missed the awards, so gave my ticket to a photographer in our friendship group who didn't have a seat. I want to talk about why this was an easy decision, why commissioned work is what makes personal work possible, and how the pay gap in sports photography decides whose vision the rest of us get to see.
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.
If you're researching women's sport photography, looking for a sports photographer in London, or commissioning a campaign shoot, these features offer a clear window into my approach and values. You can also explore my movement and yoga photography, read what clients say or get in touch to discuss a brief.
