Chatterbox Films for BBC One

This series invites ordinary people with extraordinary stories to sit for some of the most distinctive and ground-breaking artists in the world. From crocodile attack survivors coming to terms with their recovery to breathtaking underwater photoshoots that challenge the way we view ourselves. Every portrait tells a story – but what happens when your story is handed to a perfect stranger?

It’s a fascinating dive into the process of portraits being created; from a family being persuaded to jump into a pool together, friends being body painted and others thrown out of their comfort zone and catapulted into a surreal set. Through the sessions between the subjects and artists we see how the concept of the portrait is created by the artist and learn the reasons behind our subjects wanting to capture this moment in their lives forever.
