I do appreciate those compositions. They are visually striking. At first sight, I doubt he create them in order to convey any specific concept. They're surrealist for the sake of being surrealist. (maybe I'm not putting enough thought about those, anyway)

I thought about asking him to write a bit more about his compositions, about his creative process and everything. He has a good style he can work with. I would just prefer he could spend more time thinking about the meaning of his work instead of spending it on building a complex photo-manipulation.

@Spenner : nice analysis. From what I understand, he stated earlier that he's heavily editing his photos :

You’ve mentioned on a few occasions that Phlearn has helped you with your photography/editing skills. Can you tell us a little about that?

Yeah, I’ve been a big fan of Phlearn for almost a year now. I usually check back a couple times a week to see what new videos are up. My favorite is Aaron’s video on drawing shadows, I thought it was really helpful!

Looks like people (and him) are just saying it's "photography" because it's the primary medium, or at least, the main one. What irks me instead is how people praise him like he's the only guy in the world that can do this like he's the innovator of the movement. It's been done before, as soon as the 1920s.
And, there's tons of people doing this kind of art around.
