Join Martine + Lana for a morning of empowerment and exploration of your relationship with your body

what is the body project?


The Body Project is an immersive experience for those wishing to push beyond their comfortable zone and be vulnerable and brave within a small, supportive group environment. Surrounded by like minded women, you will engage in discussions and creative activities facilitated and supported by Arts Psychoanalyst and Body Image specialist Lana Sussman, while being photographed nude, one by one by photographer Martine Payne.

The experience helped me to see the photos and accept me for me. To not see criticism or dislike, but to embrace the true beauty of my body and how it defines me in strong ways. You have so so delicately and beautifully created these. Thank you so so much, they are such a gift.

"Taking part in The Body Project was a totally unique and empowering experience. What made it so special was sharing it with a group of amazing women. From the moment we walked into the studio there was this immediate sense of openness and connection. The combination of Lana's introspective workshop and Martine’s gentle, intuitive approach behind the camera created a safe space where we felt comfortable to be fully vulnerable. Stories were shared, tears were shed and there were lots of nervous, joyful giggles during the group shot (like we were kids again).


The experience was so profound, it almost didn’t matter what the photos would look like. But then you do see the images, and they are breathtaking. Martine captures something beyond the surface. Each frame is a reminder that we, in all our softness, strength, and imperfection, are art.

I can't recommend this enough to any woman who wants to step outside her comfort zone, reconnect with herself, and be part of something truly special."

The entire experience was just so authentic and raw and safe. I not once felt self conscious or uncomfortable, and there was no judgement. It was incredible experience and the bond I sense with the women now is so strong.
