Raconteur Studios
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.

Lee Miller Part 1: model, muse and surrealist photographer
In a special two-part series, Hugo and Cambridge explore the extraordinary life of Lee Miller ­– accidental model, muse, surrealist pioneer, Vogue photographer, war correspondent, and a woman whose story is as remarkable as it is deeply poignant. In each episode they take a deep dive into the photographs that define her most iconic work and style. Huge thanks to the Lee Miller Archive who we have collaborated with for this series. To see all the images discussed by Cambridge and Hugo, please visit the Double Exposure podcast page on the LMA website. Or you can find the photos @hugoandjones on Instagram. In part 1, Cambridge and Hugo trace Lee’s early life, her artistic awakening in Paris, her transformative partnership with artist Man Ray, photographing Picasso and the unexpected turns that shaped her creative path.   Key themes explored in this episode: Reinvention – Lee Miller’s life is marked by continual transformation across fashion, surrealism, and independent photography. Trauma and resilience – early childhood trauma shaped aspects of her relationships but also fuelled her creative fearlessness. Accidental beginnings – a near accident with Condé Nast launched her modelling career, which she quickly outgrew. Creative collaboration – her partnership with Man Ray blurred authorship and showcased her as an artistic equal. Plus her friendship with Picasso. Surrealist identity – Miller didn’t just photograph surrealism; she embodied its humour, playfulness, and subversion. Artistic maturity in Egypt – her Cairo period produced some of her most innovative, minimalist, and visionary work. Humour and experimentation – wit and inventive seeing were core to her photographic voice. Letting go as creative strategy – major life leaps – leaving Vogue, Man Ray, Egypt – were essential to her evolution. Prelude to war – Part 1 ends with Miller on the cusp of her most defining chapter as a WWII correspondent.   Don’t miss Part 2, where Cambridge and Hugo explore Lee Miller’s transition to war photographer, which would cement her legacy as one of the most important photographers of the 20th century.

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.

Let there be light
Light is the heart of every photograph, shaping mood, emotion and meaning — whether softened by clouds, glowing at golden hour, or reduced to the stark contrasts of black and white. In this episode of Double Exposure, photographers Hugo Burnand and Cambridge Jones unpack how light works, from simple tricks with natural daylight to Rembrandt’s timeless mastery. Along the way they share stories, practical advice, and humour — even straying into Karl Lagerfeld’s view of black and white, Leo Tolstoy on light and shadow and Henri Matisse on colour. From the essentials of natural light photography and portrait lighting to the creative possibilities of continuous sources and simple studio setups, Hugo and Cambridge offer insights for photographers at every stage. They explore how black-and-white photography delivers enduring impact, why daylight remains king, and how emotion matters as much as technical skill. Whether you’re learning the basics of aperture and shutter speed or refining your professional lighting techniques, this wide-ranging conversation is packed with ideas to help you see and capture light differently. Learn how to: ·       Use daylight and window light to create timeless portraits ·       Understand the differences between golden hour and blue hour ·       Embrace clouds as nature’s softbox ·       Avoid common mistakes with contrast and skin tones ·       Bring emotion as well as technique into every photograph ·       Appreciate why black-and-white photography remains so powerful Follow Double Exposure, the podcast that brings you stories about life and art from the world of photography, on Instagram @hugoandjones to see the photographs featured in each episode or visit the Double Exposure podcast on YouTube.
