Doula Headshot in Regency Cream

The Regency Cream register

Brighton's Regency squares: cream stucco bow fronts with curved sash windows, iron balconies, a lawn in the square and the grey sea at the square's end. The palette is cream on cream. The stucco, the wool and the knit share one soft family, and the face is the only other colour in the frame.

The frames are a portrait in the bow window of the practice with the cream sash beside her and the coat open on an ivory knit, a half-length on the house's step by the iron balcony's base with one hand on the cream-painted railing, and a half-length on the square's lawn with the cream bow fronts and the grey sea behind her, the coat buttoned. The light is the Channel's soft bright grey, broad and even, with a catchlight in each eye.

What comes out is photoreal: a photograph of you in the look of a Brighton square. The portraits are of you.

How to photograph yourself for a doula headshot

The best photo for a doula portrait is a clear, ordinary one. An everyday phone picture is enough, and a few habits sharpen the likeness.

1. Even, soft lightStand near a window with daylight on your face. Avoid overhead bulbs and phone flash, which flatten a face.
2. Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly. No shot from below, no stretched arm.
3. Face fully clearHair off the face, no sunglasses and no filters. A clear, front-facing photo is the best starting point.
4. A natural expressionA relaxed, genuine smile or a calm look carries over best. Avoid a stiff pose.
5. A plain background is fineDo not worry about your own backdrop. The pack replaces it entirely.

Frequently asked questions

What does it actually look like?

Photoreal: a photograph of you in the look of a Regency square, in a cream wool coat over an ivory knit.

How is this different from a stock photo of a doula?

This pack casts your own face into the look, from your own photo.

Is this pack for women?

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

What if my photo is not perfect?

A clear, front-facing photo in ordinary light is enough. Hair off the face matters more than the camera.

Who may use it, and is it AI-generated?

Adults aged 18 and over. Every image is AI-generated and composed; the face is yours, by your choice, from your own photo.

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.
