INTERVIEW
About the author: ALEX SCHLACHER (second from the left) was born and
raised in Austria. She started taking pictures at age 4 but didn't choose it
as a profession until 20 years after graduating from high school, in which
she traveled the world looking for a purpose. She came upon military and
police photography by accident but stayed with it and has since taken
pictures of a number of US police departments, US Marines, the Afghan
National Police, the Afghan National Army and the Austrian counter
-terrorist unit COBRA as well as, of course, the Gurkhas.
