How do you photograph history in the making – especially as a 22-year-old with no formal training? In this episode of Double Exposure, Cambridge tells Hugo his incredible story of photographing the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Armed only with a camera and his instincts, Cambridge arrived in Berlin just as the Iron Curtain began to crack.

Discover how he captured a defining moment in world history in 16 striking black and white street photographs – images that tell a powerful story of political change, human emotion and a profound psychological moment.

This episode explores the art of street photography, the power of visual storytelling, and how major historical events shape an artist’s eye. Whether you're an aspiring photographer or a history enthusiast, you'll learn how photography teaches us to see – and why your unique perspective matters.

Hosted by royal photographer Hugo Burnand and celebrity portrait photographer Cambridge Jones, Double Exposure is the podcast that gives you a new angle on the world we live in through the lens of photography.
