World Sports Photography Finalist 2026: Women’s Rugby
Being selected as a World Sports Photography Awards finalist 2026 for my work at the Women’s Rugby World Cup is both an honour and a moment of reflection. This project was about committing to women’s rugby at scale, navigating real financial and logistical challenges, and staying true to a belief that these stories deserve time, care and visibility. This post offers a behind-the-scenes insight into the work, the archive, and why making it mattered so much to me.
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.
