Jose Clemente is a freelance photographer who works under the name Jeosm. His work focuses on portraits, photojournalism, and advertising. He discovered photography through graffiti, using it as a way to immortalize his work in different light conditions. Since then, he has worked with clients like Adidas, Atresmedia, and the publisher Penguin Random House. He has also published five photography books.

In his portraits, Jeosm wants to portray people exactly as they are. He has a distinct style that focuses predominantly on black and white, employing stark contrasts between light and shadow. He believes the most important part of his work is connecting with the person being photographed.
