Out and About

Out and About is a New York location fashion editorial photographed by Ken Jones, following model Salome Chandler from the city’s subway system to the Lower Manhattan waterfront.

The series places polished designer fashion inside familiar public environments. A reflective gold evening look moves through train cars and underground platforms, while a sculptural black dress is photographed against the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridge views near the Seaport.

The contrast gives the story its energy. Clothing normally associated with a runway, formal event or controlled studio appears inside the movement, noise and visual density of New York City.

Fashion photography in motion

The editorial was designed around movement rather than static posing.

Inside the subway, poles, doors, seats and narrow aisles become part of the composition. Salome stretches across the frame, leans against structural elements and occupies the train with a confidence that separates her from the ordinary rhythm of the passengers around her.

The gold beaded garment catches the practical train lighting and reflects small points of light throughout the photographs. Its texture creates a visual counterpoint to stainless steel, dark floors and the blue-purple subway seating.

On the platform, warmer lighting and aged architectural surfaces give the same look a more cinematic character.

From the subway to the Seaport

The waterfront photographs open the story visually.

Against blue sky, water and the geometry of the bridges, the black dress becomes architectural. Its wide skirt creates large graphic shapes that shift as the model turns, lifts and moves through the frame.

The lace bodice provides detail and transparency, while the structured skirt responds to movement almost like a separate character. Some images emphasize the garment’s silhouette; others move closer to the model’s face, beauty styling and attitude.

The New York skyline and bridge structures establish location without turning the photographs into conventional travel imagery.

An urban fashion editorial

Out and About was produced as a location-based fashion story rather than a straightforward catalog shoot.

The subway images retain passing riders, advertising panels and practical details from the train. These elements give the photographs a documentary edge and make the polished styling feel deliberately unexpected.

The waterfront images offer the opposite effect: open space, clean daylight and room for the garment to move.

Together, the two environments create a complete editorial narrative—underground and above ground, enclosed and open, evening glamour and daytime city energy.

Fashion campaigns and designer lookbooks in New York

Ken Jones photographs fashion editorials, designer collections, lookbooks and campaign imagery throughout New York City.

Productions can be created in studio or on location and may include creative direction, lighting, beauty teams, stylists, assistants and production coordination. Each shoot is planned around how the clothing moves, how the collection should be positioned and where the final images will appear.
