Will it actually look like a professional headshot, not an AI filter?

Yes. The output is photoreal -- a real-looking photograph of you in the Chicago Lakefront Steel register, chest-up and headshot framing throughout, not a painting or an obvious filter pass. It's you; the wardrobe and setting are the costume, you are the sitter.

Is this pack built for men or women?

The wardrobe and world here are built for men -- the palette, the cut, and the three settings are cast for that frame. The house's sibling pack, Midtown Snow Navy, carries the same winter register for the other side.

Can I use this for LinkedIn or my company's page?

Yes -- that's the pack's own use case. The three frozen-lakefront, steel-lobby, and river-bridge settings read as a genuine executive portrait for LinkedIn, a company team page, a speaker bio, or a press kit, not a holiday snapshot dressed up.

Can I use the photos commercially, on a company website or in print?

Personal professional use like this is fine -- a LinkedIn profile, a company team page, a speaker bio, a press kit, a printed business card. It isn't licensed for resale of the images themselves.

Do I need the actual chicago lakefront steel wardrobe in real life?

You don't need any of it in your closet; that's what the photoshoot supplies.

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.

The Chicago Lakefront Steel register

Chicago Lakefront Steel draws on February: Lake Michigan frozen in plates along the shore, Mies's steel-and-glass towers the same grey as the ice, the wind the locals call the Hawk. A steel-grey wool overcoat -- the wind made visible, the city's hardest season worn as composure.

Photographically the license is ton sur ton: steel grey, lake ice and tower glass sharing one register, the collar up as the only ornament. Three settings carry the pack -- the frozen lakefront path, a lobby of grey steel mullions, a bridge over the river -- chest-up and headshot throughout.

The output is photoreal: a real-looking photograph of you in Chicago steel grey, of you -- not a painting, not a generic corporate filter.

How to photograph yourself for Chicago Lakefront Steel portraits

Better source photos make better portraits.

Even, soft lightStand near a window with indirect daylight on your face. The pack builds its own lakefront-wind Chicago light on top -- 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 -- the Chicago register favours an unbothered, direct gaze. 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 headshot.
A composed expressionThis register favors a level, professional look over a big grin -- a calm expression in your 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 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
