Graphic-designer Michael Tompert teamed-up with photographer Paul Fairchild to create a stunning photography project in which they first destroyed several Apple products and then captured them smashed, shot up and melted.

The 2010 project includes iPhones, iPads, iPods and Apple laptops (the products were brand new at the time) and aims to comment on the addictive relationship people have with these pricey gadgets.
