“Distinguished by an exquisite design and premium quality materials in order to echo the ethos of the Leica brand.”
— Leica Fotografie International Magazine
SUB13 is the brainchild of artist Matt Draper. A personal project, eight years in the making, driven by Draper's desire and commitment to fuse the Leica rangefinder with his fine art practice, forcing the design of his own fully functional underwater housing. As Draper's vision gained momentum, it evolved into a partnership with engineer Matt Hipsley, now extending to creatives and collectors alike.
With an unwavering pursuit of perfection, Draper and Hipsley spare no detail, personally investing their time and expertise in SUB13. Their small in-house team — Matt, Matt, Toby, and Kate — manages all design, engineering, machining, and assembly.
SUB13 housings are fully functional tools used by Draper himself, built as stand-alone art.
