Jess Phillips MP Portrait for the RPS 40% Project
Photographing Jess Phillips MP in the heart of her Birmingham Yardley constituency for the RPS 40% Project was a reminder of how powerful women’s stories become when told by women themselves. Celebrating visibility, leadership and the strength behind public service. As a photographer dedicated to portraying movement, authenticity, and women leading from the front, this portrait felt like a natural extension of my work, and a celebration of women doing things together to shift the narrative.
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.
