After photographer Anjali Pinto lost her husband, Jacob Johnson (also a photographer) just 16 months after getting married, she turned to Instagram, posting images of him, and of them – each an insight into her daily grief. Her Instagram following grew to more than 51,000, and many were inspired to write their own stories of love and loss. Correspondent Michelle Miller talked with Pinto at an exhibition of photographs by her and her husband, and talked about the power of images and true stories to bring strangers together.

ISLAND-HOPPING: Faroe Islands
The Faroe Islands – a country of 18 tiny islands in-between Iceland and Norway, and officially part of the kingdom of Denmark – bill themselves as Europe’s best-kept secret.

But it may not be a secret much longer, after a local restaurant, Koks, in the village of Leynavatn, earned the islands’ first Michelin star. Conor Knighton visits the dining destination far removed from the rest of the world.
