A Carlsbad Flower Fields Photoshoot

The Flower Fields register

Above the Pacific at Carlsbad, a hillside is planted in stripes of ranunculus in April, red, orange, pink and yellow in equal measure. The pack puts the traveller on those stripes in a white dress and a pink scarf. She is the white among four colours: red, orange and yellow stay in the rows, and only the pink is shared.

She stands head and shoulders before a pink stripe soft behind her, chest-up on the field path between red and orange rows, and half-length at the hill's edge with the sea beyond. The light is bright, soft and Californian. The four stripes sit in equal weight and she sits among them in white.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of the Carlsbad Flower Fields. 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 this pack

Better source photos make better portraits. An ordinary phone photo 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 phone photo is the best starting point.
4. A plain topThe pack dresses you in a white dress and a pink scarf, so a plain neckline in your source photo leaves nothing to fight.
5. A plain background is fineDo not worry about your own backdrop. The pack replaces it entirely.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a real photo taken at the Carlsbad Flower Fields?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of the Carlsbad Flower Fields. 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 the Carlsbad Flower Fields, not a painting or a cartoon.

Will the flowers be as bright as the real fields?

They are photoreal and bright, as the rows are in April. The stripes keep their own colours; the dress stays white so they can.

What can I use these portraits for?

Profile pictures, travel blogs, social feeds, bios and prints. The nine come in portrait format.

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.

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.
