When Daniel Martinez joined the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing in 2021, he was essentially creating the job of staff photographer/videographer. He said hello and hasn’t stopped hustling since, creating eye-catching, heart-tugging, prize-winning videos on top of professional shots of each new class, candid images from just about every event on campus, and—for this issue—the beautiful images that accompany profiles of MSN (Entry into Nursing) students. The DNP profiles too! And the Around the SON roundup! And … you get the picture. Martinez’s work is a delight, and this magazine will continue to feature it regularly, if not quite this exclusively, as he continues to grow and find new outlets for his artistic talent. The main image for this article features Martinez, center, with MSN (Entry into Nursing) students Kara Suarez and Lucas Min.
Images below are from Daniel Martinez’s personal archives.
Daniel is originally from Bogota, Colombia, but has already lived in Maryland more than half his life. He earned his BFA in graphic design from the Savannah College of Art and Design, and his MFA in new media photojournalism from the Corcoran School of Art and Design at George Washington University. In his free time, Daniel enjoys the outdoors, going to the movies and looking for the best ceviche and tacos spot.
