Los Angeles, CA, 2019

The End is Near, Here
Michael Dressell, Hartmann Books, £35

HELL has reserved a ringside seat for Michael Dressel. 

He seeks out places that most of never see, and he always has his camera with him to photograph the damned as they struggle through their daily lives.

His camera captures provocative images in Europe, Africa and Asia, but these do not show the disturbing chaotic power of the 21st century US hellscape in which we are drifting towards our destruction.
