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: a black wool coat with one saffron scarf against grey glass and stone in Brussels, 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 Brussels?

No. The setting is generated, composed from Brussels'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 a policy or EU affairs headshot I can use for a staff page or LinkedIn?

Yes. A dark suit, a neutral ground and a single accent is a sober but memorable policy professional headshot: staff pages, think-tank profiles, panel bills and LinkedIn. It is a composed portrait, not a photograph taken in an institution's building.

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 men or women?

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

Why is only one colour in the frame?

The ground is held to values: grey and black. Against it the sitter wears one saffron accent, once, and nothing echoes it. A neutral ground is the visual language of a serious professional portrait, and a single colour gives it one detail worth remembering.

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, a black wool coat with one saffron scarf against grey glass and stone in Brussels, 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 a black wool coat, a charcoal suit and one saffron scarf and the setting around your uploaded face. You do not need any of it in your closet; that is what the photoshoot supplies.

The Brussels Cadre, One Saffron Scarf register

The European quarter in November is grey glass, grey rain, grey stone and black coats. That is the ground for a cadre's portrait for the institution's site: nothing in the frame asks for attention except the face and one colour worn once.

Photographically the ground is held to values, no hue: grey glass, grey stone, wet pavement, black. The sitter carries the only colour: one saffron wool scarf over a black wool coat and a charcoal suit, hair short. Flat light, framed chest-up and as a headshot, the quarter read in the blur behind the shoulders.

Three looks carry the pack: chest-up before grey glass with the scarf the only hue; a headshot under a stone arcade with wet pavement blurred and the coat collar up; chest-up on the grey street with the scarf knotted, rain just ended.

The output is photoreal: a real-looking photograph of you in Brussels'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 Brussels Cadre, One Saffron Scarf 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 flat, rain-washed daylight 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
