Cambridge Jones


Cambridge Jones is a British celebrity portrait photographer. His subjects, in a series of books and exhibitions, include several British Prime Ministers, Queen Elizabeth II, and well-known actors and musicians.
Several of his books and exhibitions have involved musical themes. His first major exhibition, Face The Music, at The Proud Galleries in London, featured pictures of 120 well-known faces who chose and commented on a favourite piece of music. Gallery visitors could listen to each subject’s chosen track on headphones as they looked at their portrait.
Notable commissions include work for RADA, Prince Charles’ charity The Prince's Trust, The BBC, Nelson Mandela, London 2012, Mayor of London Boris Johnson, and Christ Church, Oxford.
In 2009 he was made an ambassador to The Prince's Trust.
