Fashion, Celebs, and (almost) the Fujifilm X-A3: Fujifilm Lifestyle Photofest
The stars (almost) aligned as Fujifilm launched two of its latest products: the Fujifilm X-A3 and the Instax Share SP-2 at the recently concluded Fujifilm Lifestyle Photofest, which happened at the TriNoma Activity Center.
THE FINEST. 30 Online influencers plus Bea Alonzo shared the catwalk for the Fujifilm Lifestyle Photofest.
30 of the country’s finest online influencers graced the event along with Fujifilm Brand Ambassadress Bea Alonzo who talked about her X-A2 and the new X-A3.
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE X-A3. Bea Alonzo (right) talks to the Cera Hernandez (left) about some of the features she likes about the X-A3.
One of the features she liked the most was how easy it was to take a selfie or a groupfie with either the X-A2 or the X-A3. She also said she liked how the camera works well even in low light thanks to its Intelligent Flash. “It can capture details that you normally would not be able to with other cameras,” she said.
FOLLOW HER FEED. Seriously, you should start following @beaalonzo right now. It’ll be your new #feedgoals, especially with that X-A3 in her hands.
If you’re not following her on Instagram (@beaalonzo) yet, you probably should do so right away. Expect to see great photos AND VIDEOS on her feed with the X-A3’s ability to record HD videos.
She also talked about the Instax Share SP-2 and how it’s better than the SP. “The photos are clearer, you can now make a collage and personalize them with notes. It’s a great giveaway whenever I host parties in my home, and the prints are also great for decorating,” she said.
The Finest you’ll see online
A GRAND ENTRANCE FOR the Fujifilm Brand Ambassadress, Ms. Bea Alonzo
As mentioned before, apart from Bea Alonzo, the event was also graced by 30 of the country’s finest online influencers. They came from a variety of fields, most of them being bloggers and online personalities, yet they are united by one thing: their love for the Fujifilm X-series and the Instax series.
A SMILE THAT LIGHTS UP YOUR SCREENS. That’s actress and blogger Louise de los Reyes (@louise.dr) for you.
SIMPLY STUNNING. Actress/blogger Andi Eiganmann (@andieigengirl), ladies and gentlemen.
CAUGHT MID-STRIDE. The ever-fashionable model/SM Youth Ambassador Kaila Estrada (@kailaestrada) rocked the catwalk.
YOUR NEW FAVORITE SINGER. Singer-songwriter/visual artist/fashion designer/author Reese Lansangan (@reeseypeasy) delighted everyone with her angelic voice.
Louise de los Reyes, Andi Eiganmann, Sarah Abad, and Alexia Ilacad were just some of the stars that graced the catwalk during the event. Other online influencers included Kaila Estrada, Kiana Valenciano, and Reese Lansangan, who kicked off the program with two original compositions and a cover of Lenka’s The Show.
At the end of the program, registered visitors got the chance to meet and greet these online influencers, as well as getting to talk to them about anything under the sun.
Prizes galore
JUST GOT LUCKY. One of two lucky winners of an Instax Harajuku Combo poses with Bea Alonzo.
The Lifestyle Photofest would not be complete without their partners Sample Room, Zalora, Kashieca, and Tripkada. Their booths did not disappoint those who registered, as they were given a make-over (in more ways than one), and had the chance to score some freebies and a free vacation for you and a discount for five of your friends.
NOT QUITE HERE YET. Or at least that’s the case for the X-A3. You can still experience this 24-megapixel shooter at the Touch and Try Booth, though.
Oh, and did we mention you can actually try the X-A3 and the Instax Share SP-2 for yourself?
FREE MAKE-OVER! The Sample Room is a great website to visit if you’re looking to buy that new beauty product you’ve been eyeing for the past few weeks.
Sample Room set-up a make-over booth were visitors were treated to a free make-over with select beauty products endorsed and reviewed by Sample Room through their website, sampleroom.ph.
INSTAGLAM. Get all glam-ed up at the Instaglam booth by Kashieca and Zalora.
After a trip to the “salon”, you can then head over to the Zalora-Kashieca Instaglam booth, were they will dress you up with the latest pieces from Kashieca and Zalora’s online collection. You might not be able to bring home the apparel, but you will definitely have an outfit-of-the-day (OOTD) photo to remember.
FREE TRIPS? YES, PLEASE! These ladies from Tripkada will challenge your wanderlust and give you a free trip if you succeed!
Once you’ve seen your inner fashionista, visit Tripkada’s booth to score shirts, bags, or a free trip to a destination you might not have been to. Tripkada is a mobile app that lets you join trips organized by other travelers. Think UberPOOL, but for your next vacation.
You had two ways of winning freebies and discounts from Tripkada. One was guessing the prices of a trip to a destination which they’ll show a photo of; the other was naming as many Philippine provinces as you can in 60 seconds. (Last time we checked, the record was 25, but that could’ve been beaten by the end of the day).
Not quite for the X-A3
The Fujifilm X-A3 is the latest to come from Fujifilm’s X-series. Its 24-megapixel APS-C sensor coupled with a 180° tilting 3-inch touch-screen LCD makes it perfect for people who love to take selfies, all in a retro design that appeals to the younger generation.
It still retains its best settings, including the aforementioned favorite of Bea Alonzo: the SR+ mode. It’s also great for food photography thanks to its Auto Macro function and the Intelligent AutoFlash (AF) features.
NOT QUITE HERE YET. Tomoyuki Fukura tells everyone to wait just a bit more for the X-A3.
Itching to get your hands on the X-A3 and the Instax Share SP-2? You’ll have to wait a bit for the X-A3 as they won’t be out until November, according to Tomoyuki Fukura, President of Fujifilm Philippines, but the Instax Share SP-2 is now available in stores like Camerahaus and Henry’s Professional.
“I would like to apologize because we had to delay the launch of the X-A3. With the success of our X-A2, we had to delay the launch of the X-A3 because people are expecting a lot from it,” Fukura said.
