A self-confessed “professional mermaid,” Andi Eigenmann has always been passionate about immersing herself in the beauty of nature and exploring new places. Her wanderings not only provided her stunning snapshots for her dreamy nature-filled Instagram feed, but also opened her eyes to the not so picturesque side of traveling.
“My greatest fear is that my daughter, Ellie, and other children would not get to enjoy nature as we do now,” shares the 27-year-old actress.
Eigenmann’s adventures in the sea—chasing the waves and soaking in the sun—allowed her to see the real situation behind the most beautiful destinations in the country.
“Seeing the situation and actually getting to know the locals who live in famous tourists spots made me decide to use my platform as a way to raise awareness and encourage people to take part in saving Mother Earth,” she says.
While she has yet to start her own environment-saving program or organization, Eigenmann has been proactively joining coastal cleanup drives, picking up garbage she sees in surfing spots and encouraging others to follow suit.
To document as well as share her advocacy milestones, the nature warrior always brings her trusted Fujifilm X-A3 camera during her adventures.
“I love how my Fujifilm X-A3 is so handy and easy to travel with,” muses Eigenmann. “It proves that you don’t have to be a professional photographer to take awesome photos.”
Sporting a cool retro design that’s perfect for millennials, the Fujifilm X-A3 is a selfie-optimized mirrorless digital camera with user-friendly touch screen operation and 180-degree tiltable LCD. With its Super Intelligent Flash system and newly-developed 24.2 megapixel APS-C sensor, not only is the camera easy to use, it accurately controls light output to capture excellent photos.
In addition, the Fujifilm X-A3 is also equipped with built-in Wi-Fi capability to connect to Instax SHARE for on-the-spot printing, transfer photos to a smartphone or tablet, or even enable remote-shooting. It retails at P34,990 and comes in brown, silver, and pink colors.
With the help of her camera, Eigenmann is able to capture stunning images that showcase the natural wonders—the surroundings and the people—we should all be proud of as well as strive to maintain and protect.
