While organizing an old hard drive, I stumbled upon a forgotten folder with over 1000 photos from Tokyo Auto Salon 2020. Held at the famous Makuhari Messe, this is Japan’s premier event for custom cars and automotive culture. Seeing these images was too good to keep to myself, so I’m sharing a gallery of my favorite shots from the show.

Incredible machines filled the display halls. They included a pristine Nissan Fairlady Z 50th Anniversary edition and the wild Liberty Walk Lamborghini Miura.

Fujifilm X-T2 for automotive photography

For fellow photographers, this entire gallery was shot with my trusty Fujifilm X-T2 and the versatile XF 16-55mm F2.8 lens. It was my first mirrorless camera, and these photos serve as great sample images showing what that combination can do.
