How your model is created from your photos
Every pack on Narcis, made with your face
Nine photographs of you in one setting: one pack of the Narcis catalogue.
Green baize card tables, cigar smoke, and a snap-brim fedora against Chicago's coldest month — a prohibition era portrait, no rented suit, no cigar required. Nine photographs of you, in portrait format. The nine vary in crop, expression and light, so there are real choices, not nine identical files.

The Capone Chicago register
This pack borrows the coldest month of Prohibition Chicago: Cicero back rooms behind a butcher's cold store, brass rails worn pale by sleeves, streetcar wires crossing every intersection. It's Godfather chiaroscuro carried into a lake-wind winter, not costume-party pinstripe.
Three situations move through one character's day: the card table in a charcoal chalk-stripe three-piece with a lit cigar and a tumbler of rye, the slush-grey avenue beside a black town car in a full overcoat and snap-brim fedora, and a Lexington Hotel suite in shirtsleeves at a tall sash window with the watch chain still bright.
What the pack renders is photoreal — a real-looking portrait of you in a 1920s gangster suit, not an illustration or a costume-party photo. The prohibition era portrait is built entirely; every frame keeps your likeness through the smoke and lamplight.
How to photograph yourself for a 1920s gangster suit portrait
The AI adds the chalk-stripe suit, the cigar, the amber lamplight — a plain, well-lit selfie is the best photo for an AI portrait.
- Even, soft lightFace a window with indirect daylight. Overhead bulbs and phone flash flatten the face and are the usual reason a likeness misses.
- Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level. No selfie-stick uplook, no shot from below.
- Face fully clearHair off the forehead, no sunglasses or hat brim across the eyes.
- A composed, level expressionThe register is Godfather stillness, not a grin — a calm, direct gaze reads truer against green baize and lamplight.
- Plain background is fineDon't worry about your own backdrop — the speakeasy and the hotel suite replace it entirely.
Frequently asked questions
- Will it actually look like Prohibition Chicago, and like a real photo?
- Yes on both. The chalk-stripe three-piece, the green baize table, the black town car and the Lexington Hotel suite come back detailed and unmistakable, and the output is photoreal — a real-looking photograph, not a painting or a cartoon.
- Can women use this pack?
- The suit, cigar and overcoat styling are built for men. A women's 1920s Chicago pack sits alongside it — the flapper and matriarch registers of this same wave.
- Can I use this for a costume idea or Halloween reference?
- Yes — it's a common use. Seeing the chalk-stripe suit and the full look on your own face beforehand is exactly what people use it for before renting or buying a costume.
- 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.
When the Capone Chicago pack fits
- For a profile picture with real presence — the card-table stillness reads better than a phone photo
- For a Halloween or costume-party idea, seeing the full look before committing to a rental
- For a themed party invitation or a speakeasy-night flyer
- For a gift — a framed portrait for someone who loves Prohibition-era film and history
- For a poster or print with a genuine 1920s Chicago register, not a stock photo
- For a dating profile with a distinctive, conversation-starting shot
- For a book cover or author photo with a period-crime tone
- For anyone who's watched every Prohibition gangster film and wanted to be in one
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.
