A Chuseok Photoshoot in a Jade and Rose Hanbok

The Chuseok Hanbok register

The pack borrows Chuseok in a Seoul hanok: paper doors, a wooden maru, persimmons ripening, and the hanbok worn as the festival wears it. It is a hanbok photoshoot in the house the dress was made for.

The colour discipline is a pair. Jade sits above, in the silk jeogori; rose sits below, in the chima. Both are worn, at matched saturation and unequal weight, and the hanok's wood and paper stay neutral. No third hue enters, only a norigae ornament at the waist. That is why the portrait feels like a painting held still.

Three looks carry it. Chest-up at the paper door, jade against rose in soft filtered light. Seated on the maru, three-quarter, the chima's rose spread and persimmons blurred. Full-length in the courtyard under the hanok's roofline with the pair alone.

It is a Chuseok photoshoot, photoreal, built from your own face. The festival shows its place in one look of three; the others are portraits in the same soft light.

How to photograph yourself for a Chuseok portrait

One clear photo starts the shoot, and the free preview shows you the likeness in seconds. A few habits sharpen it before the wardrobe goes on top.

1. Face fully clearHair off the face, no hat, sunglasses or filters in the source photo. A clear, front-facing photo is the best input for an AI portrait.
2. Soft window lightStand near a window with indirect daylight on your face. The pack builds its own light on top; an evenly lit selfie hands it the clearest face.
3. Eye level, front or three-quarterHold the camera level with your face, facing it or turned slightly. No selfie-stick uplook, no shot from below.
4. An expression that fits the frameChuseok is a gentle, family holiday. A serene, slightly shy look, chin level, suits the paper-door light.
5. Any background will doDo not stage your own backdrop: the pack's three looks replace it entirely. A plain wall just helps the model focus on your face.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Chuseok pack actually look like?

Three looks in jade and rose: chest-up at the paper door in filtered light, seated on the maru with the chima spread and persimmons behind, and full-length in the courtyard under the hanok's roofline. It renders as photography: a real-looking photograph of you in that world, not an illustration or a painting.

Is there a version for men?

This pack is built around the jeogori and chima, so it reads as her frame. It is not a men's hanbok pack.

Can I use it for a Chuseok post?

Yes. It is made for that: a Chuseok portrait for a profile picture, a greeting or a family post.

Do I need a hanbok?

No. The pack dresses you in the jade jeogori and the rose chima and builds the hanok around your face; you need only a clear selfie.

Is it a traditional hanbok?

It follows the traditional cut and pairing of a jeogori over a chima. The colours are the pack's own choice: jade and rose, at matched saturation.

What is the difference between the free preview and the full pack?

The free preview is one photo from your uploaded face, shown live in seconds so you can judge the likeness before you commit. The full pack is nine photos across three looks, each with its own framing and light.

What if my source photo is not great?

One clear phone selfie is usually enough. The free preview shows the likeness fast; if it is off, lighting and a level camera are the usual fixes.

What happens to the photo I upload?

It is processed on European servers to generate your preview and, if you continue, your pack. It is not sold or shared with third parties.

Are these real photographs?

The images are AI-generated. The pack casts the face you upload, which must be your own, and it is for adults aged 18 and over; no other real person is named or depicted.

About narcis

Most AI portrait tools ship every pose, profession, era, and aesthetic in one giant catalog. The output looks like every other AI photo on the internet — a glaze over a stock face. Narcis goes the other way. One tool, one job: turn photos of you into portraits worth keeping. Drop a selfie and your free preview streams in seconds — a quick sketch: close, not you yet. For portraits that are truly you, train your own model on 12 to 20 photos; it trains in the background, and we email you when it is ready. Train once, render everywhere — this pack, every other pack, and the Studio all come out of that one model, about ten seconds a portrait, and it stays yours to retrain or delete. Each pack is hand-curated against actual references — paintings, photographers, registers — and tested on real faces before it ships. See a free preview before you pay, not after. Packs are one-time — no subscription to buy one; Studio, the unlimited composer, is optional at €12/month and every pack includes 30 days of it. No template generator. Built and run by one team, on our own infrastructure.
