Josue & 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, Josue 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.

The Philosophy

Japan is more than a destination; it is a meticulously composed scene waiting for its protagonist. At Infame Films, we believe your memories shouldn't be relegated to a "conveyor belt" of social media trends. We move away from the noise of "content creation" to focus on intentional storytelling. We don’t just take photos; we frame legacy. Using a filmmaker’s eye for light, color, and composition, we capture the quiet, cinematic moments that phone cameras and "quick-fix" photography often miss.

“I was never a photographer, I was a friend with a camera...”
