Legrand Vincent

The Belgian photographer Vincent Legrand has completely been addicted by animals & birds since childhood. He quickly combined his passion with a great interest of photography because he always keen to show the beauty of nature in image. That’s why he studies a wide range of technical photography to be able to face to every eventualities. The animals are very unpredictable but if you know your subject very well, it’s only a matter of skills, time & luck. The gear of a wildlife photographer has always been heavy and cumbersome because in the backpack you have to share the space between big lens, cameras, bins, drone, flash and some cameratrap.Unfortunately there was no more room for an expensive waterproof case ... Until OUTEX comes on the market !!! With OUTEX, the range of photography widens a little more without neglecting the weight, perfect !!!Vincent using mostly OUTEX for snorkeling with sea-life but also during rain conditionUsing social network, photographic agency & magazines to spread his work, however he never stop looking a step forward for his next targeted species !

Anya Anti

An internationally published and award winning photo artist from Ukraine now based in New York, USA. I've been into photography since 2009.

As a self-taught I gained all my knowledge and inspiration through social media and online photography communities. A year-and-a-half later, I started creating fine art surrealistic female portraits, which became my preferable genre and a hallmark of my work.

Karl Lundholm

My name is Karl Lundholm. I was born and raised in Gothenburg, located on the west coast of Sweden. I have always enjoyed being close to the water. I am also a big fan of the sun, but we don’t get to see that one a lot around here. That’s why I have spent my last year in Australia, which offers both parts. I graduated upper secondary media school in mid 2002. Since then I have been working as a Graphic Artist, Digital Asset Manager and Photo Retoucher. For the past six years I’ve spent much time on traveling. Because discovering new places gives me new energy. It also boosts my creativity, which is why my interest in photography has evolved during this time. I love photography as a kind of art expression. Photography also goes hand-in-hand with my profession as a Photo Retoucher. Being able to work with the things I’m passionate about is important for me, as it really makes me happy.
