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 Body Project

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 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 Day

Sydney

A 3 hour immersive morning, surrounded by like minded women in a small group of 10, engaging in facilitated discussion around your experience with your body, by Body Image Specialist Psychotherapist Lana Sussman

- Individual private nude photography session with Martine
- Opportunity to take part in group photo

Afterwards you will receive:

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.
