For the last seven years, Finnish photographer, Santeri Tuori has been working on his Forest series. That might sound like a long time to take a few photos, but there is a reason for it. Tuori has been making regular trips to the island of Kökar to take his pictures, but instead of visiting different areas, he travelled to the same spot every time. He would stand in the same place, in the samedirection, and take the same picture of the same trees every time. But not a single one of the photographs are the same. Tuori took multiple images of the same location, but took them in different seasons and different colours. He then superimposed the collection to create one image filled with layers of depth.

Tuori went through the same process with his Sky series, both of which are now on display at the Purdy Hicks Gallery in Bankside, where the final pictures are displayed alongside film footage the process. You can see his work for free until the 22nd March.
