Vedel-Hertz
My name is Nanna Vedel-Hertz
And for as long as I can remember I have been telling stories.

Photography
I fell in love with photography around the age of 14, and I have not been able to put down my camera ever since. I have worked as a freelance photographer since I was 15 photographing everything from demonstrations to rock concerts to weddings.
My written work
So far most of my published written work is in Danish, but I will hopefully soon be able to showcase more of my written work in English

Blog on Cyber Warfare
I got the the assignment to create a blog on a chosen subject as part of a class on ‘digital warfare’. I chose to focus on cyber warfare, and sought to do so in a manner, that would make it as comprehendible as possible. My work on the blog got me a distinction.

I also managed the Website.
