Double Exposure

Cambridge Jones and Hugo Burnand take you into the world of royal and celebrity photography.

“Photography is a love affair with life – and that’s what we’re doing on this podcast. We’re having a love affair with life through the lens.”

What’s it like to photograph Al Pacino, Victoria Beckham, the King, the Queen? Cambridge and Hugo are two of Britain's leading photographers and have captured the most iconic faces of our time: royalty, rock stars, Hollywood actors and prime ministers. Now they reveal what really goes on behind the camera.

It's like eavesdropping at an exclusive after-party: full of legendary anecdotes, inside stories and the untold dramas behind history’s most celebrated portraits. Along the way they share tips and techniques – from lighting and lenses to timing and trust – to help you elevate your own photography.

In an age where billions of photos are taken every day, Double Exposure pulls back the curtain on getting the perfect shot. Hugo and Cambridge explore the history, psychology, and artistry of photography, including the great photographers who inspire them. And as masters of revealing the inner life of their famous subjects, as they turn their focus on each other, their own extraordinary backstories are revealed.
