Renowned nautical photographer and sailor Cory Silken has built a career capturing the rhythm, light, and elegance of life on the water. From luxury yachts and iconic regattas to quiet moments at sea, his imagery reflects a deep passion for sailing and storytelling through photography. As both a working professional and an educator, Cory is constantly refining his tools and techniques to stay mobile, efficient, and creatively focused. That pursuit led him to Outex waterproof housings—a solution that simplifies his water-based workflow by reducing bulk, weight, and cost compared to traditional underwater systems. With Outex, Cory can confidently bring his primary camera gear into wet environments while keeping setups clean and accessible. It’s why he now recommends Outex as part of his photography workshops: empowering photographers to work closer to the water, with fewer barriers and greater creative freedom.

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.
