Hi..
I am actually the photgrapher that created that image.
The rules about photoshop are directly related to the submission photograph. It does not say that photoshop can not be used to create props. These props are then photographed as part of the photo.
Imagine a backdrop with painted elements as part of a portrait. Or a man holding a painting of himself that he did. I did one photo with eyes looking through a sheet of eyes. That is like painting on the face.
The whole idea behind the photoshop limitations is that we don't use it to save our butt from bad photography or turn this into the "Who's better at digital darkroom techniques". We keep our photos as traditional photos shot as you see them standing there..even though we may use untraditional props in the process.
Removing elements instead of learning to compose better, adding motion effects instead of learning how to shoot motion pictures, adding lens effects instead of learning about polarizers, warming filters, lens flare etc.
I use photoshop as a prop producing tool because I am fast at it, I know what I am doing and I like it :-).
In film work I have also used projectors of textures on nudes, mirrors, painting faces and pictures of other peoples artwork, sculptures, architecture, murals etc.....
