Is this a real photo taken at Bogazici University in Istanbul?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of Bogazici University in Istanbul. It is not a picture taken there.

Will it look like a real photograph?

Yes. Every photo is photoreal: a real-looking photograph of you in the look of Bogazici University in Istanbul, not a painting or a cartoon.

Is it right for professors, lecturers and research staff?

Yes. It suits professors, lecturers and research staff, for a profile page, a conference programme, a press kit or an author photo.

Everything else is grey stone and green leaf, so the blue of the strait is worn once, at the throat, and seen once more in the water below.

Is this pack for women?

The wardrobe and styling are cut for women, so the pack reads that way. Other packs on Narcis suit other looks.

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 Bosphorus campus register

Above the Bosphorus in Istanbul stands a university of grey nineteenth-century stone halls around a lawn of plane trees, with a terrace that looks straight down on the strait, its tankers, the fortress and the bridge. The pack puts the professor there. Stone, plane-tree green and the far shore's dun are kept to quiet values, and a single hue, Bosphorus blue, is worn as a deep blue silk scarf over a grey wool coat and echoed once in the water far below.

She stands before a grey stone hall with a tall window soft behind her, under the plane trees with one hand on a stone bench and a closed book against her coat, and at the terrace balustrade at half-length with the fortress towers and the bridge's span behind her. The light is soft and bright off the water, with a catchlight in each eye. The mood is a woman carrying the one blue of the strait her campus looks down on.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of Bogazici University in Istanbul. The place and the wardrobe are borrowed as a setting; the photos are portraits of you, not pictures taken there.

How to photograph yourself for a professor headshot

Better source photos make better portraits. An ordinary phone photo is enough, and a few habits sharpen the likeness.

Even, soft lightStand near a window with daylight on your face. Avoid overhead bulbs and phone flash, which flatten a face.
Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly. No shot from below, no stretched arm.
Face fully clearHair off the face, no sunglasses and no filters. A clear, front-facing phone photo is the best starting point.
A calm, direct lookA relaxed, attentive expression in your source photo carries over best into the portraits.
A plain background is fineDo not worry about your own backdrop. The pack replaces it entirely.

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.

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
