Olympic Level Sports Photography
"Outex was in part inspired by my Olympic swimming background and experiences. And watching the games is exciting enough for the inspiring, jaw-dropping performances by the athletes themselves. As you can imagine many of my old friends and acquaintances have become coaches, administrators, or now have kids competing at that level. Some of my coaches are coaching today's top athletes still. And now, adding the photography dimension has been increasingly rewarding, as the number of Outex-related sports photographers lending their skills to the Olympic story-telling continues to grow. Their perspective makes it that much more fun to watch - specially in a year without spectators. I can't get enough." (Outex co-founder JR deSouza)

Over/Under Perfection – Amunì Media's Cabrinha Wing Shoot in Sicily
The Cabrinha wing collection shoot presented a technical and aesthetic puzzle: how to capture the same wing in both air and water—an over-and-under—or “split” shot. The solution? A dome port paired with a flat, mirror-like sea—only achievable under calm offshore wind conditions. Photographer Laci Kobulsky’s approach was precise. He chose the optimal time and place where the sea lay still, then strapped on his Outex waterproof housing with optical glass dome port (perfect for this exact scenario), plunging the lens halfway to invite that boundary between worlds. With stability and clarity, the dome port sculpted the shot: wings slicing air above, foil gliding below.
