PHOTO GALLERY: Marc Anthony live at Barclays Center, Brooklyn NYC (10 photos)

Grammy-winning salsa king Marc Anthony dominated the stage in an electrifying concert to benefit his Maestro Cares foundation, which seeks to develop housing and educational facilities for underprivileged children in Latin America.

Combining James Bond-suave with smooth vocals and sexy salsa moves, Marc started the show with his hit “I Need to Know” and never looked back…much to delight of his screaming fans. It’s easy to see why Marc Anthony is adored worldwide…he DELIVERS onstage with incomparable stage presence, raw emotions and an obvious love for his fans. And he can add this photographer as his newest fan!

England’s wildly popular folk rock band Mumford & Sons played the first of two sold-out shows at Barclays Center, much to the delight of their New York fans. Their energy was infectious!

Coldplay is a band that knows how to please…and amaze…their fans. The first three songs alone were a visual feast of colorful lasers, huge bouncing balls and confetti…LOTS of confetti. And charismatic lead singer Chris Martin was the perfect complement to all this, full of energy and exaltation. Good times!

PHOTO SET: JUSTIN BIEBER IN CONCERT (10 photos)

Barclays Center, Brooklyn NYC

It was quite an experience shooting Justin Bieber. It was fun seeing so much sheer, insane, straight-up happiness…nothing else mattered to all these young girls who clearly worship The Biebs. And it’s easy to see why: the kid puts on a good show. I honestly think the ringing in my ears afterwards were more from the girls screaming than the loudness of the music!

PhotoSet: Rapper Busta Rhymes

Had a blast photographing Busta, the closing act of the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival. He performed all the hits, including “Woo Hah! Got You All in Check”, “Dangerous” and my personal fave “Pass the Courvoisier”.  We were even treated to rap classic “The Children’s Story” when special guest Slick Rick took the stage! Busta always had the devoted crowd in the palm of his hand with his quick-draw lyrical flow and magnetic stage presence. Good times!

A Great Day at the Great GoogaMooga Festival!

Brooklyn’s Prospect Park was the site of the humongous, 1st annual Great GoogaMooga festival, a fantastic celebration of food, wine, beer and music (what’s not to love??). Over 75 top food vendors (including some of NYC’s top chefs and restaurants), 35 brewers, 30 wine makers and 20 live music performances, including The Roots and Hall & Oates. Beautiful weather + positive vibes = GOOD TIMES…

Had the pleasure of photographing up-and-coming singer Maya Azucena…both backstage and onstage…at SOB’s in NYC this week! She’s been compared to Lauren Hill, as she blends her powerful vocals with a number of music genres (including soul, electronica, hip-hop and reggae). Maya has toured the world and recently performed with the legendary Roberta Flack. Maya’s beauty and powerful stage presence were a joy to photograph. See more Maya here…
