Architect Portraits
Nine photos of you in one setting
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.
Nine photographs of you, styled as a Chicago architect — a black rollneck at the drafting table, rolled drawings, black-steel Miesian towers through tall windows, in portrait format. The nine vary in crop, expression and light, so there are real choices, not nine identical files.

The Chicago Drafting Room register
This pack draws on the Chicago drafting-room register — minimal and confident, the city where the skyscraper was invented. A black rollneck or fine knit, dark trousers, round glasses in one frame; the palette runs drawing white, model card, steel black, and lake-light grey.
Three situations carry it: standing over a long drafting table with rolled drawings and a white model, tall windows and towers behind; standing at a window with the black steel of a Miesian tower across the street, arms crossed, level gaze; posed before a plain pale backdrop with a rolled drawing under the arm. The output is photoreal — a real architect photoshoot of you at the table, not an illustration.
How to photograph yourself for an architect photoshoot
Better source photos make better portraits.
- Even, soft lightStand near a window with indirect daylight. Avoid overhead bulbs and flash.
- Front or three-quarter angleEye level, facing forward or turned slightly. No selfie-stick uplook.
- Face fully clearHair off the forehead, glasses off if you can. The model needs a clean read of your face.
- A level, exact expressionThis register wants calm precision, not a broad smile — the look of someone who measures a room before they enter it.
- Plain background is fineThe drafting table, the window, and the studio backdrop replace whatever's behind you — a plain wall just helps the model focus on your face.
Frequently asked questions
- Will it actually look like a real architect photoshoot?
- Yes. The output is photoreal — a real-looking photograph of you at the drafting table, at the window, or against a pale backdrop. Not a painting, not a cartoon.
- Which scenes does the pack cover?
- Three that trace the drafting room's own day: standing over the table with drawings and a model, at the window with a Miesian tower behind, and a clean studio portrait. Nine portraits, three per scene.
- Why Chicago specifically?
- Chicago is where the skyscraper was invented and where its black-steel, glass-curtain-wall vocabulary was perfected. The pack stages that specific architectural lineage, not a generic office.
- How is this different from a generic LinkedIn headshot pack?
- A generic headshot pack reaches for a blurred office background. This one is built specifically on the drafting table, the rolled drawings, and Chicago's own steel-and-glass skyline.
- How is this different from Casa Barragán?
- This pack is Mies-era Chicago — black steel, glass, drawing-white minimalism. Casa Barragán is Mexico City's colour-led emotional architecture, pink walls and hard sun. Same profession, two very different worlds — pick the one that matches yours.
- Can I use it commercially?
- It's for personal use — profile pictures, prints, gifts — not licensed stock photography for resale or ad campaigns.
- Who is this pack for?
- Working architects who want a portrait that actually looks like the job, design students, and anyone drawn to the black-steel Chicago skyline.
- 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.
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
