Photos of wrecked cars are hard to look at, but it is also hard to look away. That attraction to carnage is what makes Jody Daunton's "The Destruction of Cars" so mesmerizing.
Once interested in documentary photography, Daunton shifted to "image making," and says the scenes in this series "consist of photographs of performative and staged events."
Staged or no, these cars are really being destroyed.
Daunton produced the series for his final major project at University of Brighton in England, and shared the photos with us.

He smashed another with a piece of cement.

For another, he destroyed two cars in one shot.
