Midwife Portrait: The Amsterdam Navy Look

The Navy register

The Navy look is set on an Amsterdam canal in November. A midwife on her bicycle rounds wears a navy wool coat, the canal's water is navy-black, the canal-house doors are painted navy and the bicycle's frame is navy enamel. The palette is navy throughout, and the face is the only other colour.

The register is the canal's flat, grey light, broad and even, with a catchlight in each eye. Three frames are made in this look: a head and shoulders before a navy canal-house door with the quay's grey light beside her, a half-length at the quay's edge with one hand on the bicycle's navy frame held as an attribute and the dark water behind, and a wider view on the canal bridge with the gables and the navy-black water behind her and the coat buttoned.

What comes out is photoreal: nine photographs of you, in the look of a midwife dressed in the dark water she cycles beside.

How to photograph yourself for a Navy midwife portrait

An ordinary phone photo is enough. Flat, even light suits this look, and a calm face carries it.

1. Even, soft lightStand near a window or outdoors under open sky. Avoid overhead bulbs and phone flash.
2. Eye levelCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly. No shot from below.
3. Face fully clearHair off the face, no sunglasses and no filters.
4. A calm expressionA relaxed, warm look carries over best. Avoid a wide, forced smile.
5. A plain background is fineThe pack replaces the background entirely, so the room behind you does not matter.

Frequently asked questions

Will they look like real photographs?

Yes. Every frame is photoreal: a photograph of you.

How is this different from a standard headshot app?

The nine frames share one place and one colour, so the portraits read as a set with a look.

What if my photo is not perfect?

A clear, front-facing photo in daylight is enough. Good light and an unobstructed face improve the likeness most.

Is this pack for women?

The coat and the cut are for a woman, so the pack reads that way. Other packs on Narcis suit other looks.

Who is depicted?

The photos are AI-generated and built from a photo of you, and the face is yours by your choice. You must be 18 or over to use Narcis.

Will the photos look like me?

Every photo looks like you, well photographed. If one is nearly right, say what to change, in your own words.

Do I have to write a prompt?

No. There is nothing to write: you pick a pack, and it is ready in seconds.

How many photos of myself do I add?

Between six and twenty, from different days and in different light, with your face clear. We check each one when you add it.

What happens to the photos I add?

They are used only to create your model, on our own servers in the European Union. They are not shared and not sold.

About narcis

Most AI photo tools put every pose, job, era, and style in one giant catalog. The photos all look like every other AI photo on the internet — a glaze over a stock face. Narcis goes the other way. One job: photos of you that look like photographs. You add at least 6 photos of yourself, and we create your AI model from them. Your photos are ready in a few hours, and we email you when they are. Then this pack and every other pack on Narcis can be made with your face. Each pack is curated against real references — paintings, photographers, places — and tested on real faces before it goes live. Built and run by one small team, on our own servers.
