Raw Podcast - EP49 - A conversation with Tim Millen

Episode 49 – Tim Millen (This Modern Love) In this episode, we chat with Tim Millen — the creative mind behind This Modern Love, and a man who lives a bit of a double life. By day, he’s a wedding photographer capturing real moments with honesty and heart. But when the cameras are down, you’ll find him in the studio painting — a slower, more solitary process that gives him space to reflect and create differently. We talk about everything from his childhood influences and the cousin who handed down a photojournalist’s camera, to the artistic contrast between film and digital, painting and photography. There’s loads here about creative constraints, the pressures of the job, and the little things that keep us going — like staying hydrated and knowing when to drive less. Highlights include: • The parallels between painting and photography • Why setting creative rules can be freeing • Balancing commercial work with personal projects • Shooting weddings on film in a digital world • What the Helsinki Bus Station Theory has to do with finding your style • Building rapport and capturing silent moments • Working through wedding nerves — especially when shooting fellow photographers weddings. • The ongoing journey of maintaining passion in a saturated industry Show Links.
