Shattered Gadget Photography

Khuong Nguyen Captures Smashed & Destroyed Products

Seriously guys, if you don't pay attention to the girlfriend, your PlayStation controller may end up like the one in Khuong Nguyen's photography above. The artist captures various electronic items being smashed, destroyed and beat into submission. The coolest part is how he's able to capture them in the process of being obliterated, so bits and pieces of the product are caught flying around.

These Khuong Nguyen photographs are a part of his 'Tronified Series,' which was taken for Amusement Magazine.
