Jay-Z at the United Center

Jay-Z made a stop at the United Center during his “Blueprint 3″ tour. The set was definitely designed really well. The backdrop was created by a number of 3-dimensional led screens that formed the NYC skyline. It added a lot of depth to the stage.

This was the first hip-hop show that I photographed and I learned a lot from it. I shot the first three songs; “Run This Town,” “Diamonds,” and “On To The Next One.” Unfortunately we weren’t allowed to stay in the stadium with our cameras after the third song.

I used a Canon 50D and the Canon 24-70 f/2.8 lens for all of these shots.
