What really happens when Hollywood legends, rock icons, prime ministers and royalty step in front of the lens?
Hosted by Hugo Burnand – official photographer to King Charles III – and Cambridge Jones, described as Britain’s answer to Annie Leibovitz, Double Exposure is your backstage pass to the world of photography. It’s like overhearing conversations at an exclusive after-party, where stories about life and art are shared, and the truth behind some of history’s most iconic images is revealed.
They’ve photographed everyone from Al Pacino and Ozzy Osbourne to Victoria Beckham and the late Queen, capturing the faces that have shaped our culture. Now, Hugo and Cambridge lift the curtain on how those portraits – and some of the greatest images of the last century – really came about: what went right, what nearly went wrong, and how instinct, trust, timing (and yes, a touch of luck) turned fleeting moments into unforgettable pictures.
Each episode is part masterclass, part confessional – blending behind-the-scenes anecdotes with hard-won wisdom. Expect lighting secrets, compositional tricks, the psychology of working with power and fame, and the delicate art of putting a subject at ease. You’ll also meet the photographers who inspire them - and uncover the untold stories behind Hugo and Cambridge themselves.
In a world awash with snapshots, Double Exposure shows you how to truly see – and once you’ve heard these stories, you’ll never look at a photograph in quite the same way again.

A kidnapping, a farm and a camera. The improbable story of Cambridge Jones
What happens when the photographer becomes the subject? In this episode of Double Exposure, Hugo Bernard turns the lens on his co-host, portrait photographer Cambridge Jones, uncovering the life stories and influences behind his work.
Cambridge reflects on his unconventional upbringing – from being kidnapped as a toddler to growing up on a Welsh hill farm – and how these early experiences shaped both his memory and his way of seeing. Cambridge shares how his early years made him ‘insecure and a people-pleaser’ – and why these are useful skills as a photographer.
He describes how a first camera at 14 led to hundreds of photo albums, and how influences such as David Bailey and songwriter Eg White helped him hone his craft with no formal training.
In a moving and revealing conversation, Hugo prompts a revelation about Cambridge’s photoshoot with TV presenter Davina McCall. Plus there are lessons learned from photographing actor Tom Courtney and PR man Matthew Freud.
