How does a professional photographer transition from the refined elegance of a French Riviera wedding to the raw, submerged silence of a Mexican cenote? For Montreal-born, France-based photographer Eric Barnabe, the answer lies in a kit that refuses to be confined by the weather or the waterline. In this deep dive, we explore Eric’s diverse portfolio—from high-energy sports and corporate photojournalism to his recent "Abyss" series. Discover why Eric has relied on the Outex system since 2019 to navigate inclement weather and remote travel. By trading bulky, rigid housings for a lightweight, modular glass-port solution, Eric maintains full tactile control and elite image quality, proving that "traveling light" doesn't have to mean compromising your professional standards. Join us as we look at how the right tools allow creators to turn environmental challenges into artistic opportunities.

Finn O’Hara: Capturing Olympic Velocity with Tactical Precision What happens when a national campaign for Bell Canada demands a "low angle" on an Olympic champion? For award-winning director and photographer Finn O’Hara, it meant taking the Canon R5 where few commercial shooters dare: deep into the high-speed lanes of a professional pool. Facing a strict four-hour window and the technical complexity of tethered underwater imaging, Finn bypassed bulky traditional housings for the tactile, modular precision of Outex camera housing. Discover how Finn synchronized a Canon RF 15-35mm lens, Area51 tethering, and a clever Profoto strobe relay to freeze the motion of gold medalist Maggie Mac Neil in real-time. Dive into the workflow that proves you don’t have to sacrifice control for protection.

Art corporel sous-marin par le photographe Dan Katz. L'artiste visuel Dan Katz a fait carrière dans la direction créative et la publicité avant de consacrer son attention et son énergie à la photographie sous-marine. Bien que Dan n'ait pas de sujet de prédilection à photographier, il trouve son inspiration dans la nature, l'architecture et les formes, couleurs et formes étonnantes du corps humain. Le travail de Dan reflète cette inspiration.

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.
