Your Story, Directed in Japan.
Cinematic photography & film for your Japan elopement, portraits, or private tour.
Why Infame Films JP
Japan has hundreds of photographers.
We built the only team that speaks your language —
in every sense of the word.
Not a franchise. Not a rotating roster of shooters. Two people, fully present, on every single story.
The Only Trilingual Team in Kansai
English, Español, 日本語 — spoken natively, not translated through an app on the day of your shoot. You plan, negotiate, and communicate directly with us, in your language.
Rare in this marketAlways the Two of Us
No subcontracted photographer you've never met, no rotating roster. Josue behind the camera, Asuka coordinating every detail — the same two people from your first message to your final gallery.
24-Hour Delivery
Most studios in Japan take days, sometimes weeks. You'll have your full gallery before you've left the country — ready to share while the trip is still fresh.
Beyond the Tourist Hour
As Kyoto and Osaka grow busier every year, we know the quiet windows, the permits, and the corners that don't appear on any tourist map — so your story doesn't have fifty strangers in the background.

Josh & Asuka
Based in the historic city of Kobe and operating across Tokyo, Kyoto, and beyond, we bring a dual perspective to every shoot.
Born in Mexico and now calling Japan home, Josh blends a vibrant, cinematic aesthetic with the technical precision of professional cinema-grade equipment. As a filmmaker and photographer, his focus is on the "feeling" of the frame—capturing the grit of an Osaka alleyway or the soft glow of a Kyoto morning with equal depth.
Working alongside him, Asuka ensures that every detail—from location scouting to the local nuances of Japanese culture—is handled with care. Together, we provide a seamless, comfortable experience that allows you to stop worrying about the camera and start living in the movie.
Hear From Our Happy Clients
I’ve known Josh from when he used to work with another company, and I’m really happy to see that he now has his own business. It was a great experience working with him again, and I can honestly say the results were incredible. The photos turned out amazing—high quality, beautifully captured, and exactly what we were hoping for.
The whole experience was smooth, professional, and enjoyable from start to finish. Josh was easy to work with, organized, and clearly passionate about what he does. If you’re looking for a photographer who delivers outstanding results and a great overall experience, I definitely recommend him.
Chen S, USA
Como pareja, tuvimos una experiencia maravillosa trabajando con Josh. Desde el principio fue muy profesional y amable, y nos hizo sentir completamente cómodos durante la sesión. Tiene un gran talento para capturar momentos naturales, y las fotos quedaron absolutamente increíbles.
Todo el proceso fue muy fluido y agradable, y las fotos finales superaron nuestras expectativas. Estamos muy felices con los recuerdos que capturó para nosotros y lo recomendamos totalmente a cualquier pareja que esté buscando un fotógrafo talentoso y profesional.
Sofia M, Mexico
“It was such a pleasure meeting Josh and having him take photos for us. He was kind, easy to talk to, and everyone really enjoyed his company. He even arrived early to make sure everything was ready, which we really appreciated.
The whole experience felt very natural and relaxed, and he did a wonderful job capturing the moment. We’re really grateful he took the time to photograph us and are excited to see the results. It was a lovely experience overall, and we would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a friendly and professional photographer.”

Every Journey Deserves a Director’s Cut.
The Philosophy
Japan is not a backdrop—it is a frame waiting for your story. While others produce fleeting content for an algorithm, we direct visual legacies. No rushed poses. No viral trends. Just intentional, high-end storytelling captured with a filmmaker’s eye, ensuring your time in Japan remains timeless.
