Alex Schlacher Author

Alex Schlacher is an Austrian photographer. While embedded with the US Marines in Helmand Province/Afghanistan in 2011, she also had the privilege of spending some time with the Royal Gurkha Rifles - going on patrols with them, staying in their camps and getting to know them. She came away fascinated and in awe of their spirit, culture and kindness. She is now in the unique position of being allowed total and unprecedented access to the Brigade of Gurkhas, and has photographed them since 2012.
