Is this a real photo taken at the stilt city?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of the stilt city. 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 stilt city, not a painting or a cartoon.

Who is a restaurateur headshot for?

It suits restaurant owners, chef-owners, caterers and hospitality managers, for a profile page, a programme, a press feature or an author photo.

The city is grey fog and dark timber, and its red is the lantern. One red against grey values is how the place looks, and it keeps the face the brightest warm point in the frame.

Is this pack cut for men?

The wardrobe and styling are cut for men, 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.

The Stilt City in Fog register

Chongqing is a mountain city of fog where two rivers meet, with a stilt-house complex of dark timber eleven storeys up a cliff. The fog, the river and the towers are grey, and the city has one colour everywhere: the red of its lanterns and of its hotpot. The pack puts the restaurateur in that grey city.

The colour is fog grey in every value, from white to charcoal timber, with a single red. A charcoal wool coat is the line, a red paper lantern hangs at the frame's edge, and the stilt houses' stacked dark eaves make the silhouette. He stands before a wall of dark timber with the lantern's glow, rests a hand on a balcony rail above the grey river, and stands on the riverside paving with the stilt houses climbing the cliff behind. The light is diffused by fog, the red the only hue.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of the fogbound stilt city. 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 a restaurateur headshot

Better source photos make better portraits. An ordinary phone photo is enough, and a few habits sharpen the likeness.

Even, soft lightStand near a window with daylight on your face. Avoid overhead bulbs and phone flash, which flatten a face.
Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly. No shot from below, no stretched arm.
Face fully clearHair off the face, no sunglasses and no filters. A clear, front-facing phone photo is the best starting point.
The right expressionA restaurateur reads as someone who makes strangers feel welcome. A warm, relaxed expression in your source photo carries over best.
A plain background is fineDo not worry about your own backdrop. The pack replaces it entirely.

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
