THE PIVOT SESSIONS: Find your creative voice + reinvent your work
A one-day creative reset for photographers ready to evolve, refine, and stay relevant.
INTENSIVE DETAILS:
Location: Brooklyn NY
Date: Monday, November 3rd 2025
Session One: 9:30am-12:00pm
Session Two: 2:00pm-4:30pm
Book one or both, your call. (Psst: Both is best)
If you're a photographer who has felt stuck, like you aren't fulfilling your creative potential, or like you're working extra hard to sell to clients who've gone quiet--this is your moment. It's time to move differently.
This is a creative intervention.
A sharp, thought-provoking, action-driven reset designed to help you:
-Reconnect with your creative voice
-Create work that says what you want it to
-Build a creative life and business that evolves with the market (and with you)
It's two intensive sessions. No fluff. No vague concepts. I'm going to hit you with some real talk, guided exploration, and direction that will give you the kind of clarity that ushers in your lightbulb moment for your untapped potential. You’ll be digging deep to ask yourself what it is you really want to achieve—and then creating an actionable plan to make that reality.
SESSION ONE: Stand out, Stay Booked, and Create Work that Lasts through Changing Times
9:30am-12:00pm
This session helps you figure out what you're actually trying to say with your work- how to make it undeniably yours. You'll fine-tune your creative voice and explore an untapped pivot that will set you apart from the masses; making you recession proof and burn-out resistant.
SESSION TWO: Design a Creative Life that Makes Money
2:00pm-4:30pm
Are you leading a life that's conducive to creativity? Is your creative work making (enough) money for you? This session helps you zoom out-- way out--and design a way of working that actually supports your creativity and your income. You'll take an honest look at your day-to-day and learn how to make adjustments, reimagining and reinventing yourself to thrive through and through.

LED BY:
I'm Kara Marie Trombetta- a speaker, educator, and American photographer for women who traded in a high volume studio in Austin for a reimagined creative life in Italy. I help photographers create deeper, more thoughtful work, and design a life and a business around it that actually feels good to live in.
For a decade, I've been teaching workshops and speaking on stages to encourage photographers to build sustainable businesses with service and their unique voice at the center.
My ever-evolving photographic work, for now, is of women and for women in a black and white style that somehow manages to blend effortless casualty with dramatic confidence.
There is a lot of overlap between my photographic clients and my photography business students, which just solidifies for me that I'm following my dream path. I'm here to help you follow yours.
I am passionate about working with small groups of photographers to guide them towards their most fulfilled selves. Every single message that I receive about the impact of a workshop in a photographer’s life truly fills me with light and pride.
FAQ's
Are the sessions standalone topics ?
I structured the PIVOT SESSIONS to be a "choose your own adventure" of sorts. Read the descriptions for each, and based on your needs, book only session one, only session two, or both sessions together. The two topics go beautifully hand-in-hand and it's encouraged to attend both for maximum impact. However, each session is a complete topic and can be benefitted from individually.
I am not a photographer, does this still make sense for me? While the majority of my students are in the photography industry, the content I'll be teaching at PIVOT is applicable to anyone in the creative arts- whatever their medium!
Where exactly in NYC will the sessions take place? Both sessions will take place in the same private location in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn NY.
How many attendees will there be? The venue can accommodate up to 15 attendees per session, so we will cap ticket sales as such.
What do I need to bring with me? If you prefer to take notes on a laptop or tablet, you are welcome to bring one. However, nothing is required and workbooks and pens will be provided.
If I am attending both sessions, will there be time for lunch? Yes, there will be a 2 hour break between sessions in which attendees can have lunch at the spot of their choice as lunch is on your own. We will be conveniently located near several great lunch options.
