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.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.
