4th in this series is Albert Cornelissen. A UK based photographer and TYCH user who is our first featured photographer to submit diptychs. This is one of our favourite things to do with the TYCH, really makes you think differently about the images you are taking.

What film do you like to shoot with?
I love good old reliable HP5, which I mostly meter at 800. The amount of latitude and ease of obtaining consistent results makes it a great film to concentrate on the images you’re making, instead of the technical side of things.
What do you like about the TYCH?
Two things: the size, and just how good it is at metering and exposing scenes in auto. I can literally carry it in my pocket, whip it out, take a picture, and have it back out of sight quicker than you can say “half frame” and know that I’ll get a usable result. It’s the perfect camera to always have with you.
Which of your 3 images is your favourite and why?
The diptych of the sun through the trees and the people walking past the concrete wall. I’m a big fan of punchy, contrasty images, and this pair fits the bill in very different ways.
We love a Diptych and feel spoiled to have 3 great examples sent in. Albert decided to send diptychs because he had so many photos taken with the camera he liked! All the images were taken on Ilford HP5 film pushed to 1600 ISO, this increases the grain, but more importantly increases contrast for the “punchy” look Albert likes. We like it too, bravo!
