In Lost Angeles, the viewer is invited to view some of Dressel's most poignant portraits and to be transported to that moment and place.

Mr. Dressel was born in East Berlin and spent 2 years in a Stasi prison after being captured while climbing the Berlin wall. He moved from Berlin to Los Angeles in 1986 and has spent t...
