Alexander Tetsch (birth name: Neureuter), born in 1965, worked as Executive Manager with several blue chip companies like Daimler-Benz, AXA Insurance and Microsoft for more than 20 years. With Microsoft he moved for six years to the corporate headquarters in Seattle (USA) and finally joined Microsoft in New Delhi (India) for three years as Director Business Planning and Business Operations. 

In 2008, he turned his lifelong passion for photography into a profession: He now works as freelance photo journalist and writer with focus on environmental issues and travel. 

A major theme of his work is the commitment against forgetting the nuclear disasters of Chernobyl and Fukushima, so he spent three weeks in the evacuated exclusion zone of Chernobyl (May and October 2011 as well as September 2014) and traveled for three weeks within the Fukushima prefecture (May 2013), to report on the life of the nuclear refugees after the Fukushima disaster.

He gained wide recognition for his lectures, photo exhibitions (on Chernobyl and on the general risks of nuclear power) and photo books about the almost forgotten nuclear catastrophe of Chernobyl. In 2012, press and public acknowledged his startling research on the almost unknown legacy of mercury and radium as byproducts of gas fracking in former Eastern Germany: Due to the increased public awareness and pressure, all of the hazardous gas production claims are now decontaminated and finally will be completely restored. 

Alexander Tetsch is member of IPPNW (International Physicians For The Prevention Of Nuclear War), Greenpeace, the German anti-nuclear initiative .ausgestrahlt and the radiation experts group of the Citizens' Environmental Committee of Lüchow-Dannenberg. 

Furthermore, Alexander Tetsch is member of SlowFood and owner and chef of the open-air restaurant "Schmeckerlein" in May 2015, where he serves the finest and most extraordinary creations of Tarte Flambée right from the wood-fired brick oven under the starry summer sky of Lusatia.
