What's the difference between the free preview and the full pack?

The free preview is one photo from your uploaded face, shown live in seconds so you can judge the likeness before you commit. The full pack is nine photos across the same three settings, with different crops, expressions and light.

Will it actually look like a real photograph, not an AI filter?

Yes. The output is photoreal: ochre linen against ochre marble, gold grass and plaster in Athens, in chest-up and headshot framing, not a painting and not an obvious filter pass. It is built from your own uploaded face; the wardrobe and the setting are the costume and you are the sitter.

Is it photographed in Athens?

No. The setting is generated, composed from Athens's documented autumn colours, materials and light. The colours and the mood are faithful; the frame is not a photograph taken on the spot.

Is this an archaeologist headshot I can use for an institute page or grant profile?

Yes. Chest-up and headshot framing, a library or ruin blurred behind the sitter and a field-smart jacket are the academic headshot format: institute pages, grant profiles, conference programmes and LinkedIn. It is a photoshoot in Athens' palette, not a photograph taken at a dig.

What happens to the photo I upload?

Your photo is processed on European servers to generate your preview and, if you continue, your full pack. It is not sold or shared with third parties.

Can I use one photo or do I need several?

One clear, front-facing phone photo is usually enough. More angles improve likeness slightly, and the free preview tells you whether one photo is sufficient before you commit.

Is this pack built for women or men?

The wardrobe and the sample set are cast for women: the cut, the palette and the three settings are built for that frame. A version for men is not shipped in this pack.

What is a tone on tone outfit, and why does the pack use one?

Tone on tone means one hue worn head to toe, here ochre, with the ground sharing that hue. Because colour cannot separate the sitter from the setting, texture, sheen and the direction of light do it: wool against marble, cloth against grain. The face is the only other colour, which keeps the eye on the sitter.

What if my source photo isn't great?

One clear phone selfie is usually enough. The free preview shows you the likeness in seconds; if it is off, even soft light on your face is the fastest fix.

How is this different from a generic AI headshot filter?

A generic filter defaults to one flat studio look. This pack is built around a specific register, ochre linen against ochre marble, gold grass and plaster in Athens, across three genuinely different settings rather than one backdrop repeated.

Can I use the photos commercially, on a company website or in print?

Personal and professional profile use is fine: a LinkedIn profile, a team page, a speaker bio, a press kit, a printed business card. The pack does not license resale of the images themselves.

Do I need the actual wardrobe in real life?

No. The pack builds an ochre linen jacket over a sand knit and the setting around your uploaded face. You do not need any of it in your closet; that is what the photoshoot supplies.

The Athens Archaeologist in Ochre register

Athens in October is ochre: marble warmed to ochre, the Agora's dry grass gold, an institute's ochre-walled library. The archaeologist's institutional portrait is dressed by the site, and the jacket takes the colour of the stone.

Photographically the register is ton sur ton: the garment and the ground share the hue, separated by texture, specular and the direction of light, with the face the only other colour. An ochre linen jacket over a sand knit, ochre trousers, hair tied and sun-lightened, terracotta as a fine accent, warm late light, framed chest-up and as a headshot.

Three looks carry the pack: chest-up at a marble column's base with linen slub against fluted marble; a headshot in the library against ochre plaster; chest-up on the Agora's path with gold grass and the jacket open in late light.

The output is photoreal: a real-looking photograph of you in Athens's autumn colours, built from your own uploaded face. It is a composed portrait, not a painting and not a generic filter, and the setting is composed from the place's documented colours rather than photographed there.

How to photograph yourself for The Athens Archaeologist in Ochre portraits

Better source photos make better portraits. The pack works with an ordinary phone selfie, and the free preview tells you in seconds, but a few things sharpen the likeness before the wardrobe and the autumn light go on top.

Even, soft lightStand near a window with indirect daylight on your face. The pack builds its own warm late sun on top, so a flat, well-lit selfie gives it the clearest face to work from.
Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly to three-quarter. No selfie-stick uplook, no shot from below.
Face fully clearHair off the face, no hats, sunglasses or heavy filters in the source photo. A clear, front-facing photo is the best input for an AI portrait.
A composed expressionThe register favours a level, assured look over a big grin. A calm expression in the source photo blends more naturally into the chest-up and headshot frames.
Plain background is fineDon't worry about your own backdrop: the pack's three settings replace it entirely. A plain wall behind you just helps the model focus on your face.

About narcis

Most AI portrait tools ship every pose, profession, era, and aesthetic in one giant catalog. The output looks like every other AI photo on the internet — a glaze over a stock face. Narcis goes the other way. One tool, one job: turn photos of you into portraits worth keeping. Drop a selfie and your free preview streams in seconds — a quick sketch: close, not you yet. For portraits that are truly you, train your own model on 12 to 20 photos; it trains in the background, and we email you when it is ready. Train once, render everywhere — this pack, every other pack, and the Studio all come out of that one model, about ten seconds a portrait, and it stays yours to retrain or delete. Each pack is hand-curated against actual references — paintings, photographers, registers — and tested on real faces before it ships. See a free preview before you pay, not after. Packs are one-time — no subscription to buy one; Studio, the unlimited composer, is optional at €12/month and every pack includes 30 days of it. No template generator. Built and run by one team, on our own infrastructure.

All images are AI-generated. By using this service, you confirm you are 18+, that any face photo you upload is your own or used with explicit consent. Full Terms
