was this photoshop-ed? of this can be doable?

I'm pretty sure that this is just down to lighting/flash. Following the artists comments on that page, he offers workshops and states "photos you take, you can keep". Nowhere does he say anything about processing, so I assume that it's all in camera.

Basically, the same technique as the macro boys use for water-drop shots. High speed flash and a whole lot of luck in how the pattern forms as it's caught.

I'd say he has a library of splashes etc and these are photo-shopped on. Very well! Some of his images just couldn't happen in reality - drops going all directions. Especially one against cityscape - background have been added afterwards + drops coming up from top of dress + I doubt dress really got wet + the model would have reacted involuntarily. I could be wrong then I'm astonished!

Pretty big discussion here (http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/photo-compositing/18891-water-dress-amazing-work-possibly-nsfw-parcial-nudity.html). One of the gurus used calculations to recreate.

Looks similar to the tecnique used here (nsfw)http://www.flawlesshustle.com/art/milk-dresss-by-andrey-razumovsky-nsfw/

But I think the Milk dresses are better done.

That's easy. You just click the awesomebutton on your canon.

Bingo.

Agree. But the one in the retouchpro forum is better yet. And it's more difficult to select (transparent) water against a gray gradient then it is selecting opaque, white milk against a black background ;)
