Studio Fashion Lookbook with Projected Window Light
C’est Moi is a studio fashion lookbook photographed by New York fashion photographer Ken Jones. The series focuses on strong graphic lines and bold contrast created by the garments themselves.

These background scenes include locations in New York’s East Village as well as the Queen’s Castle in Copenhagen, captured during a trip to Denmark. The final images combine studio portraiture with location imagery to create a surreal editorial narrative—produced years before the rise of AI-generated imagery.
