La fotografía de Jorge León se enfoca en retratos y documentales, explorando principalmente la vida urbana. Su relación con el retrato siempre ha estado marcada por el temor al olvido, buscando preservar los momentos compartidos con personas significativas. Para la exposición "Yo sé que me acordarás", el artista presentó dos fotografías en formato de 35mm: "Madre" y "Dildo Cactus". La primera es un retrato de su madre, a quien León glorifica y santifica por su relación con el catolicismo y su proceso de emancipación de esas creencias. "Dildo Cactus" es el retrato de su amigo Sebastián, con quien explora la desnudez como tema, rindiendo homenaje a la fotografía de Robert Mapplethorpe.
