  • How to improve your photographs by looking at Old Master paintings
    Want to know how a trip to an art gallery could take your photographs from good to great? In this episode Cambridge Jones and Hugo Burnand talk about visiting art galleries to look at historic paintings for inspiration, taking tips from Old Master portraits on lighting and composition to use in their photographs. According to Hugo, a photographer should practise looking at great paintings from centuries past like a footballer practises keepy-uppies.   Find out how Hugo’s Coronation portrait of the new King Charles with Prince William and Prince George, the line of succession, borrowed tips from a seventeenth century portrait of King Charles II by John Michael Wright. Hugo’s portrait of Mike Rutherford of Genesis was inspired by Holbein-the Younger’s iconic 1537 portrait of King Henry VIII, particularly his depiction of the king’s hands. ‘A good portrait nearly always has hands in it. Having a hand in it brings it so much more to life.’   For Cambridge, the influence of art history has been more subconscious but his portrait of Jefferson Hack, founder of ‘Dazed and Confused’ magazine, has an uncanny resemblance to ‘The Death of Chatterton’ an oil painting from 1856 by Henry Wallis. Cambridge’s portrait of record producer Mark Ronson clearly takes inspiration from ‘A Dandy in Rome’, an early nineteenth century portrait of a young man on the Grand Tour.

  • Photographing royalty: the real story
    “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.   Follow Double Exposure on Instagram @hugoandjones to see the photographs featured in each episode – plus, want answers to your own photography questions?
