Saracens Women 'Standing in the Light'

  • Karen Yeomans

There is a distinct lack of female voices and points of view in sports photography. I explore alternative interpretations of femininity through women’s sport to discover the strength and depth of its capacity. Starting a new conversation with our audience, fifty percent of which is female. Saracens was a pivotal study, watching the girls in training I was struck by how they looked straight through the camera. Women, with their own power, being exactly who they are. Within the team culture, they offer strength, support, trust and motivation to each other. There is an honest, hardworking and totally unpretentious dynamic in the way they operate.
