As a documentary and wedding photographer I love to be able to go places and create shots that push the limits of exploration. In the past I have tried a number of underwater camera housings, but I consistently found them difficult to work with. Often, they were too heavy and bulky to fit in with my travel equipment. Also, the hard-box style of camera housing wouldn’t allow me to access the settings on my camera. This year I found the Outex and it was a perfect fit for me: I can pack it down to the size of a small lens, I can access the buttons the camera easily while shooting, and it works great while keeping my camera gear safe. I am blending it into both my wedding work and documentary film work with amazing results.

This past September I was on a destination wedding shoot in Ireland. The couple got married by a castle in Kenmare and there was this beautiful lake ringed by mountains nearby. So I decided that it would be a perfect setting to try out the Outex. It was freezing but I sent the intrepid couple out onto a pile of rocks in the lake, stripped down to my underpants, and plunged into the water. The sun was setting just behind them and I positioned the camera half way underwater, allowing the light to refract and create a series of flares. It took a few tried to get it right, but finally I was able to come up with this.

This week the photo was honored as a Finalist for a Fearless Award, the highest honor in creative wedding photography.

The Outex underwater camera housing system is the best waterproof solution for family, fashion, wedding, portraiture, and other professional applications. The optical glass ports are superior to acrylic housings that cost thousands, and yet it's flexible, universal (fits multiple camera brands, makes, and models, as well as multiple lenses), and allows complete control of all camera and lens functions and controls, so you can adjust all/any setting as you go and on the job.
