Vivienne McMaster (she/her) helps people find their way into a more compassionate, connected, and accepting relationship with the person looking back at them in selfies. She speaks to how photos aren’t just a product but can be a way into conversation with a body healing process. Sophia explores how her own safety boundaries in photoshoots have changed and contemplates her next ‘danger zone.’

Vivienne McMaster is a Body Acceptance Photographer, Trauma Informed Coach and Certified Body Trust Provider. She works with folks through online classes, coaching and photo sessions to shift how they feel about the person looking back at them in photos. The camera and self-portraiture helped her heal her own negative body image. She's now on a mission to share these tools and help folks choose compassion over critique and return to body trust, one photo at a time.
