German portrait photographer Grit Rümmler has spent 20 years creating staged, fine-art portraits — and the last four taking them underwater with an Outex waterproof camera housing. In this feature, she shares how accessible underwater camera gear unlocked a new creative environment, what she learned from an ambitious parachute shoot across multiple lakes, and why distinctive underwater imagery is increasingly valuable for photographers looking to stand out. A practical and inspiring look at how one hobby photographer expanded her portfolio without abandoning her style.

When life pushed photographer Kylie Wingert beneath the surface, she discovered healing through creativity. Today, her breathtaking underwater portraits blend emotion, artistry, and technical precision to create unforgettable family, maternity, and children's images. Learn how Kylie uses the Outex waterproof camera housing, natural light, and her own inspiring journey from darkness to hope to produce dreamlike photographs that celebrate resilience, connection, and the beauty found just beneath the water's surface.

Internationally acclaimed astrophotographer Wioleta Górecka is redefining night photography by combining the Milky Way with underwater landscapes. Discover how she uses Outex to protect her camera while creating breathtaking split-shot images in Iceland's harsh and unpredictable environments.

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.
