This photography isn't really about "photons" or any amount of energy measurements of radiation emission at the subatomic scale. This is more about capturing macro-scale events at very precise time scales and exceedingly high shutter speeds, and detecting how quickly an arbitrary amount of light will traverse the components of a still life.

There's also a lot of distortion introduced into the final composited images, enough that they cease to look like photographs of normal physical objects, and start to look more like computer generated images of ray traced 3D models.
