Cambridge Jones and Hugo Burnand explore the dazzling world of Cecil Beaton – one of Britain’s most influential photographers. From Hollywood portraits to Vogue fashion shoots and iconic images of the Royal Family, Beaton was the master of creativity within the frame. But was he actually a photographer? Find out what happened behind the scenes of his shoots with Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe and why if you put Cambridge and Hugo in a photographic blender you’d get Cecil Beaton! Discover: How Hugo and Beaton share surprising parallels: school days at Harrow, royalty, celebrity portraits, and high society access. Beaton’s early years: a Box Brownie, a camera gifted at 12 (used astonishingly far into his career) and two glamorous sisters who became his early subjects. The story behind his meteoric rise: from Cambridge to Bright Young Things to Vogue to New York. Beaton’s belief in performance and reinvention: “I don’t want people to know me as I really am.” How photographing Edward and Mrs Simpson inadvertently opened palace doors. The Vogue scandal: how a hidden anti-Semitic phrase in an illustration lead to pulped copies and his abrupt firing. Why his cultural impact is huge, but auction prices don’t match contemporaries like Steichen.

“Very rarely do people get as close to being accurate as you have.” In this special and unplanned episode of Double Exposure, hosts Hugo Burnand and Cambridge Jones share the first part of an interview recorded with the great British photographer Martin Parr just weeks before his sudden death. In mid-November the team went to meet Martin at his foundation in Bristol, not knowing it would be one of the last interviews he did. We are shocked and saddened by the news and our deepest sympathies go to Martin’s family and everyone at the foundation. We had not planned to release this episode until the new year, and so it is unfinished. But in memory and celebration of Martin we wanted to share this intimate and wide-ranging conversation with one of Britain’s most important photographers – on his work, his philosophy, his influences and his hopes for the future of photography. We will release Part 2 of our interview in early 2026 as part of our full tribute to Martin’s life, work and legacy. Hear Martin talk about: -       His 57 years in photography, his preference for shooting in England, and the rarity of producing truly great images. -       How the UK undervalues photography, and why other countries respond more enthusiastically. -       Where he finds pictures, how he works unobtrusively, and his approach to editing, volume, and printing. -       The stories behind some of his best-known images and how families, chance, and contact sheets shape a photograph’s life. -       His early influences, from his grandfather to Tony Ray-Jones and the American street photographers. -       Subverting the cliché, honesty, and what makes work feel genuinely original.   You can find a film of our interview with Martin on the Double Exposure podcast on YouTube.

Want to know how a trip to an art gallery could take your photographs from good to great? In this episode Cambridge Jones and Hugo Burnand talk about visiting art galleries to look at historic paintings for inspiration, taking tips from Old Master portraits on lighting and composition to use in their photographs. According to Hugo, a photographer should practise looking at great paintings from centuries past like a footballer practises keepy-uppies.   Find out how Hugo’s Coronation portrait of the new King Charles with Prince William and Prince George, the line of succession, borrowed tips from a seventeenth century portrait of King Charles II by John Michael Wright. Hugo’s portrait of Mike Rutherford of Genesis was inspired by Holbein-the Younger’s iconic 1537 portrait of King Henry VIII, particularly his depiction of the king’s hands. ‘A good portrait nearly always has hands in it. Having a hand in it brings it so much more to life.’   For Cambridge, the influence of art history has been more subconscious but his portrait of Jefferson Hack, founder of ‘Dazed and Confused’ magazine, has an uncanny resemblance to ‘The Death of Chatterton’ an oil painting from 1856 by Henry Wallis. Cambridge’s portrait of record producer Mark Ronson clearly takes inspiration from ‘A Dandy in Rome’, an early nineteenth century portrait of a young man on the Grand Tour.
