I don't know the person's name, but the search term is "urban camouflage".

Essexjan has it, but here are a couple more links:

Business Insider has a whole gallery of his work and a story about his upcoming exhibition in NYC.

Aww man, the Business Insider gallery makes it obvious that at least one of his photos is a fake, which makes me wonder about all the others. Compare image #1 and #2 in the gallery - although Liu moves, the flags and the other people in the scene don't move at all.
