Cooking Dinner

The Cooking Dinner register

This pack draws on the day at home, at its end: cooking dinner, an evening kitchen, a pan on the flame, a glass of wine beside the board, an apron over a tee, the window gone dark — the seven o'clock that a phone on the shelf would catch.

Styled with an apron over a tee and jeans, a shirt with the sleeves rolled, or a knit — hair natural, palette of kitchen warmth, steel, wood board, and the wine's red.

Three takes carry the pack: standing at the stove with a pan in one hand and a spoon in the other, in the apron over the tee, steam rising, a grin, tasting; leaning on the counter chopping at the board with the glass beside, in the rolled-sleeve shirt, gaze on the knife then up, amused; and seated on the counter's stool with the plate finished and the glass raised, in the knit, eyes on the lens, done.

The output is photoreal — a real-looking photograph of you in that moment, not a painting or a filter laid over a studio shot. It's you; it isn't a depiction of anyone else, and it doesn't claim to be.

How to photograph yourself for Cooking Dinner

Better source photos make better portraits.

1. Even, soft lightTake your selfie under warm indoor light in the evening if you can — the pack builds the evening-kitchen scene and its light on top.
2. Front or three-quarter angleEye level, facing the lens or turned slightly. No selfie-stick uplook, no shot from below.
3. Face fully clearHair off the forehead, no sunglasses or heavy filters — a clean, front-facing photo is the best input for an AI headshot.
4. A composed expressionA relaxed, satisfied look fits this register — cooking dinner reads unwound rather than posed.
5. 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.

Frequently asked questions

Will it actually look like a real photograph?

Yes. The output is photoreal — a real-looking photograph, not a filter or an illustration. A real evening kitchen, a real pan and board, actual warm light — not a filter over your face.

Which moments does the pack cover?

Three, all in the same kitchen: at the stove with a pan and spoon, chopping at the board with a glass beside, and seated at the counter with the plate finished.

Can women use this pack?

The styling here — the apron over a tee and jeans, the rolled-sleeve shirt — is built for men. A parallel at-home register for women, the kitchen, the sofa, the balcony, the bed, the window seat, and the plant corner, covers the same warmth from a female register.

Can I use this for a gift or a print?

Personal use like this is fine — a keepsake print, a framed gift, a vision board. It isn't licensed for commercial resale.

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.
