Not hating on the artist in particular here, but at this point this style is so derivative and worn out it almost reminds me of the "sand filter" americans put on scenes meant to take place in mexico or the middle east. Obviously not all art needs to portray things as they are, but this doesnt seem to offer much of anything of meaning - and if you're just looking for the most simple "looks pretty" standard, I'd say this type of filter / style almost detracts from the photography. I live in Tokyo and know like 10 different photographers pumping out this style.
