In keeping with typical "dance music" styling, this cover art is a picture of the artist, but put through multiple lighting and colour filters to make it appear radiant and colourful; this is to give it a distinctly "rave"-like aesthetic, almost as though the picture was taken at some sort of party. The blue colour gives the artist a "cool" appearance, and the glow and bloomed lighting makes him stand out from the plain white background and accentuates the edges of the logo. The electric, neon-like blue highlights also give the cover a sense of technological advancement; it's a clean, noise-free and entirely artificial-looking photo - and this is what is expected of electronic dance music.
The lens flare is present both to add a degree of realism to the lighting, and to emphasise the angle of the shot.
