Will it actually look like the era, and like a real photo?

Yes on both. A gilt club mirror before the door, the blitz's narrow staircase, and the covent garden colonnades at dawn come back detailed and true to the register, and the output is photoreal: a real-looking photograph of you, not a painting or a cartoon.

Is it honest to post this as if I actually held court at the real Blitz club in 1981?

The honest answer: this is a genuine portrait of you, styled in this world — not a photo taken there. Post it as a keepsake or a portrait you love and it's completely fair game. Passing it off as the real thing is a different use.

Which looks does the pack cover?

Three: the mirror before the door, the club staircase, and Covent Garden at dawn — three portraits per spot, nine in total.

How is this different from a real New Romantic club shoot?

A real Blitz sitting means sourcing a ruffled fencing shirt and brocade jacket, theatrical makeup, and a club or theatre location with tungsten-and-mirror lighting. This gives you the same mirror, the same staircase, the same colonnades at dawn, whenever you like.

Can I use it as a profile picture or on a dating app?

Yes for a profile picture — it's a poised, poised, period-styled shot. For dating, use it honestly: it reads as a styled portrait, so it works as long as you're not implying it's a real event or trip.

Can women use this pack?

The sample and styling are built for men, so it reads masculine throughout.

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.

The Blitz Romantics photoshoot register

Covent Garden 1981, Tuesday night at the Blitz, is the reference — the door where punk put on ruffles: frilled fencing shirts, sashes and braid, painted cheekbones, mirrors everywhere because everyone came as a portrait. This new romantic fashion photoshoot register is club-portrait: tungsten and mirror light, painterly color on painted faces, ivory ruffle, burgundy brocade, gold braid, kohl.

Three situations trace the club's own theatre: leaning into a gilt club mirror, finishing a sharp line of blusher; holding the narrow staircase, one hand on the rail like a rite, sash catching the light; walking home through empty Covent Garden colonnades at dawn, makeup softened by the night. The ruffled fencing shirt and one glove carry the androgynous photoshoot look across all three.

What the pack renders is a photograph: photoreal, a real-looking portrait of you at the Blitz in 1981 — not a painting, not an illustration, though the tungsten-and-mirror light does the era's own work. Honest note: this is a portrait of you composited into the club, not a photo taken there — it holds up as a keepsake or a portrait you love; claiming it as an actual 1981 night is a different use.

How to photograph yourself for a Blitz Romantics photoshoot

Better source photos make better portraits.

Even, soft lightStand near a window with indirect daylight on your face. Avoid overhead bulbs and phone flash — both flatten the face and are the usual reason an AI portrait misses your likeness.
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 and sunglasses off the face. A clear, front-facing photo is the best photo for an AI portrait — it gives the model the most of you to work with.
A theatrical, self-possessed expressionThe register is self-invention as performance — a considered, meeting-your-own-gaze look reads truer than a casual smile for this one.
Plain background is fineDon't worry about your own backdrop — the club mirror and the colonnades replace it. A plain wall behind you just helps the model focus on your face.

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.
