Does he really play with the strings backwards like that? Or is the guitar more of a "prop" for the photo?

That is his preferred method of playing, right hand strings, left hand playing.

that's hows he plays, he even restrings lefthanded guitars to be oriented the same way.
Thanks - I did not know that!
I have enough trouble with the strings the "normal" way!

I watched a concert video of Coco Montoya - he strings his guitars the same way - and I thought my head was going to explode: "Wait, that sounds like G chord but it can't be - not with that fingering."

Being a converted right hander it makes total sense for me to use my actual dominant (left) hand for fretting.
And speaking of Coco Montoya, Premier Guitar just did a rig rundown with him during which he says that Eric Gales (who also plays "upside down") is right handed but, being self taught, got it technically "wrong" but clearly for him perfectly right.
