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.

Capturing world-class sports photography requires speed, precision, and the ability to shoot in any environment. Outex ambassadors like Olivier Morin, Andrew Hancock, Bryan Keane, Jonne Roriz, Dean Podmore, and Ryan Sorensenpush the limits of action imagery across arenas, tracks, oceans, and stadiums worldwide. Whether freezing split-second peak action, shooting in unpredictable weather, or mixing stills and motion, these elite photographers rely on Outex waterproof housings for their optical clarity, universal camera compatibility, lightweight travel build, and durable modular systems. For beginners and emerging enthusiasts, Outex gear opens the door to capturing professional-level sports imagery—rain or shine, dust or dirt, poolside or pitch-side—without investing in bulky, expensive hard housings. This blog explores what makes sports photography so demanding, how top pros approach it, and how Outex enables anyone to shoot fast-moving athletes with confidence, creativity, and total protection.

From the cold Atlantic swells of New Jersey to the crystal-blue breaks of Hawaii and Mexico, surf photographer Matt Catalano has built a life around chasing waves and capturing motion. What began as a self-taught surf journey evolved into a global pursuit of ocean imagery — blending film, photography, and cinematography into one creative flow. Now based between coasts and always near the water, Matt’s work celebrates the beauty, unpredictability, and raw power of the sea. With tools like the Outex waterproof camera housing, he’s able to stay close to the action, shooting from inside the barrel, in pounding surf, and wherever creativity and adventure collide.
