Joe Satriani in Concert at G-Taranaki
The inaugural G-Taranaki Festival in 2008 brought together some of the world’s most iconic guitarists for an unforgettable event in Taranaki, New Zealand. Founded by guitar enthusiast Garry Sharpe-Young, the festival aimed to inspire and educate Kiwi guitarists and music fans alike. I was fortunate to be invited by Venture Taranaki to cover the event, and photographing Joe Satriani and other legendary musicians in action was an incredible experience.
Concert Photography Experience
Photographing Joe Satriani during his live performances throughout Taranaki was a thrill, but I must admit, being glued to my camera did take away from fully enjoying the music. Still, capturing his powerful presence on stage was worth it. This post features a curated selection of my favourite concert portraits from the festival, showcasing not just Satriani, but also other talented musicians who performed alongside him.
