Yep, it's a mask effect and it could be done in a bunch of different ways.
Here's one way:
- Import image to be masked, turn into symbol.
- Create another layer with a bunch of shapes that fill image area, grouping diff shapes.
- Turn all shapes into movieclip symbol. Make sure it is in exact location of image and that it covers up image completely.
- Go inside shape mc and animate shapes. You decide how they come in and get to there original scale and position. Maybe start from smaller shape to larger shape, and then one after the other. Add stop action at end of that timeline so it doesn't loop.
- Give shape mc an instance name, give image clip an instance name.
- Add code to use shape mc to mask image mc.ie: image_mc.setMask(shape_mc);
Done and done.

The reveals are all vector masks, probably frame by frame drawn as you would do to reveal cursive text. There is also some blur filter going on plus alpha or tint fades, and he's got multiple layers building in at the same time. Well done for sure.

It looks pretty simple. Images fading on top of each other in sequence of completion. Even quicker than masking. Cut up your image in photoshop and fade each piece in..
