Found his work on this great photography website The Hive. Have seen his work previously in safe sex campaigns and PS2 advertisements.
On the website i found him on there are a lot of other photographers that all use photoshop in their work. You begin to look for something quirky or manipulated in every otherwise normal looking photograph because of this and it becomes a bit repetitive.
