An American photographer based in northern Italy, Kara Marie Trombetta celebrates her 16 year career that encompasses her roles as both a privately-commissioned photographer, and a photography business educator and coach.Where Trombetta’s art is concerned, she favors impactful black and white images as her medium of choice, using natural light and shadow to honor the human form. Her minimalist, honest, and customer service-centric method of capturing her clients allows each muse to feel exceptionally comfortable and to see the beauty in their authenticity.With her personal evolution as a catalyst, Kara Marie has come to empower individuals not merely to discover confidence in their skin, but to realize that true confidence is not skin-deep. She regards the absence of clothing on her subjects simply as the removal of distraction, inhibitions, and facades rather than with the objective of creating “sexy” images. When asked about the classification of her work as “boudoir" photography when it appears to have evolved into something more multi-faceted, Trombetta gently explains: “I work to grant my muses the permission to be fully and naturally themselves without layers to hide behind, without the need for a glamorous makeover or extreme retouching, and also without the pressure to act provocatively. We can be sexy, yes. We are also intelligent, introspective, resilient, strong, funny, powerful, and emotional. I work to help my clients discover and celebrate their confidence. Limiting that expression of confidence to merely sexuality is doing a great disservice to the multitude of characteristics that one is comprised of. This is why I am working to redefine boudoir photography from a style that is traditionally intended to be stereotypically sexual for a very narrowly defined demographic, to an evolved narrative that is more of an artistic expression of the human spirit in its most honest natural form. I encourage a dialogue that emphasizes that everyone is a masterpiece.”As an educator, Kara Marie’s teaching style is approachable for all experience levels and types of photographers. Her photography education has expanded to include coaching entrepreneurs in creativity, customer service, and general life balance. Delivering a multitude of workshops, keynote presentations, and online educational courses throughout her career, she continues her work to embolden her students around the world while nurturing her most artistic chapter yet.
