Surprise Cast #217 Helen Millington

Hello Helen! I warmly welcome you as my special guest on Surprise Cast. Thank you for joining me from across the pond to discuss everything from Halloween icebreakers and favorite films (Kubrick, The Shining, and more) to how music, cinema, and books have helped you get through dark periods in your life. The episode includes personal stories of childhood depression, early therapy, a later bipolar diagnosis, and how creative outlets—especially music and film—became lifesavers. You described your parents and influential teachers who fostered incredible curiosity and wonder. Listeners will have a chance to explore your remarkable work as a photographer, including your early love of film cameras, transition to mirrorless and DSLR gear, go-to lenses for gigs, workflow for shooting and editing live shows, and the excitement of receiving your photos. Many thanks for your honesty and deep reflection. You brought your life and work into sharper focus, which made the experience truly enjoyable.  Follow Hellen Millington: https://www.instagram.com/helsmillphotography/ Other music included: https://www.instagram.com/thestonerosesofficial/ https://www.instagram.com/realbabybird_/ https://chameleonsband.com/home
