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.

“Sometimes I take photographs which are never seen by the public.”
What is it like being allowed into the inner sanctum to photograph royalty? It’s a privilege only a handful of people have ever had… now you can go behind the lens with world-renowned photographers Hugo Burnand and Cambridge Jones as they reveal the secrets of photographing the British royal family, including King Charles III and the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Hugo, the official portrait photographer to the King, reflects on over two decades of capturing some of the monarchy’s most iconic images. He discusses the unique "professional friendship" he’s built with King Charles, and why the unspoken connection between photographer and subject – the “bounce” – is essential to a great royal portrait.
Cambridge shares his own experiences photographing the late Queen and the King, and what happens during the “talking bit.” Is photographing royalty different to other public figures like actors and musicians?
Perfect for fans of photography, royalty, and behind-the-scenes storytelling, this exclusive and intimate episode offers rare insight into a world few ever witness.
Plus, how to light a portrait, the power of reflectors and why British photographers have an international cache.
