MORE THAN JUST A PHOTOSHOOT

Hello! I'm Chris Plesent

I’m Chris a Mexican-American photographer based in Osaka for over 10 years.


I photograph travelers, couples, and solo adventurers who want photos that feel natural, stylish, and true to their experience in Japan.


Think of it less like a traditional photoshoot and more like exploring Japan with a local friend who knows the best neighborhoods, cafés, backstreets, and hidden spots.

What people said

I came from the US and had no idea that this would be one of the best parts of my Osaka trip! Chris was very professional, knowledgeable and made the entire experience feel like it was a walking tour with awesome shots included! He will guide you if you aren’t sure how to pose or if you are looking for a specific vibe. Thank you Chris!!!

We had two sessions with Chris, our engagement photos and also a evening in Namba. Both were an absolute joy to be a part of we both felt at ease with Chris and his creativity was incredible. Super easy to talk and to and work out what would be best for what we wanted. But what matters most is the final outcome and the photos were incredible, we could not have been happier and would recommend to anyone travelling from overseas to Japan who would like an incredible photographer! 6/5 stars.

I'm smiling ear to ear looking at the photos Chris took during our session. It was my first time booking a photoshoot  and I'm so happy with my decision! The whole experience was fun. Chris made me feel like I was just strolling around Kyoto with a friend! I got amazingly beautiful photos! Chris captured the exact essence of my whole trip - airy, bright, and colorful! Definitely recommended!

Chris was incredibly patient, friendly, and fully engaged throughout the entire process. He made everything smooth and hassle-free—you don’t have to worry about angles or poses, because he’s already thinking ahead to capture you at your best. I’m especially grateful that he was able to capture the sweetest, most intimate moments of my proposal so naturally. Delightful experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
