What my father's camera taught me about life and love | Ana Paganini | TEDxLisboa

What do you do when an unexpected loss changes everything? Photographer Ana Paganini shares a poignant narrative about navigating life, love, and loss through the medium of photography. After the sudden passing of her father, Ana's camera became a tool for self-discovery and connection; a way to reconstruct memory and preserve the love that time and grief threatened to dissolve. While following her journey, we come to see that the love which defines our life isn’t just about presence; it also embraces echoes from our past. She reminds us that while our time here is brief, what we do matters, and that the impact of those we've loved and lost continues, as they guide and inspire us. As you reflect on your own life, and evoke the memory of those you have loved and lost, as well as those still with you, what love story will you discover or re-discover today?
