In the thrilling world of underwater photography and sports videography, capturing breathtaking moments requires top-notch gear and expertise. Few professionals master the skills and art of this endeavor better than Andrew Hancock, a renowned figure in sports photography, who recently turned heads at the 2025 ACC Swimming Championships in North Carolina. Andrew was able to pair his various Nikon cameras and lenses with the modular Outex underwater housing system to transport viewers into places they don’t normally go - underwater.  Andrew showcased how modular camera systems can transform the challenges of underwater content creation into stunning visual stories. The seamless integration of Outex’s revolutionary technology not only ensures pristine image quality with its optical glass ports, but also underscores its status as a game-changer for outdoor photographers and underwater content creators alike. Join us as we dive into the details of Andrew’s creative process and explore how the Outex system expand your creative capabilities, differentiate your work, and expand your market potential.

Amunì Media again pushes creative boundaries—this time with North Foils, capturing a high-octane product video featuring rising star Ernesto De Amicis in Laci’s home waters of Sicily. The goal? Convey speed, sleek design, and the raw thrill of racing wing gear through the lens. For this shoot, Laci armed his camera inside an Outex housing using a flat front port—then screwed an ND64 filter right before (inside) the front glass. This combination allowed a slow shutter of 1/50 sec, generating graceful motion blur in video that complements the speed of De Amicis cutting through water.

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.

"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)
