Joshua Garcia has a not-so-secret photography account. Here are the film cameras he uses
Joshua Garcia has an old-school new hobby.
In case you didn't know, the 24-year-old Darna star has been quietly fostering his newfound love for film photography through his not-so-secret Instagram account: @jeg.imahe. With 'jeg' standing for Joshua's full name, Joshua Espineli Garcia, and only following one person, Joshua himself, the clues are pretty evident.
In his first post on Feb. 11, the actor shared the developed shots of his hangout with friends. In the caption, he said that he used the point-and-shoot Olympus mju-II with colored Porta 400 film.
The cult-favorite Olympus camera has a 35/2.8 lens that captures crisp and fast shots, while the 35mm Kodak Professional Portra 400 film brings Joshua's photos a bright color palette with its daylight-balanced film.

In his second post, Joshua took his followers on a tour of The Farm at San Benito in Batangas with grainy shots of the area's pools and amenities.
The 24-year-old still used his Olympus camera for the shots but switched the film to a Kodak ColorPlus 200, which features more vibrant and a yellow-cast to the developed photos.
Finally, for his most recent set of photos, the artist has seemingly mixed and matched his developed photos.
Different grain styles feature Joshua taking a mirror selfie, behind-the-scenes shots of Janella Salvador during Darna shootings, and Joshua's favorite subject: his golden retriever named Marley.
Meanwhile, Joshua also previously shared his growing collection of cameras so far. His arsenal includes the aforementioned Olympus mju-II, a Yashica MF-2 Super DX, and a Pentax Espio 80. He has also been sharing updates on testing a Leica Q2 digital camera.
Joshua's camera of choice for selfies and every day shooting appears to be the Olympus mju-II, while his recent viral film mirror selfie with Janella Salvador sees the pair smiling through the Yashica MF-2.
Seems like Joshua is collecting old cameras. He is hooked. Can't wait to see his watermarked photos. ?@iamjoshuagarcia pic.twitter.com/qxm5wtr9J1
