Dakar Almadies 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 Dakar creative professional in Almadies — tailored bazin and a sculptural headwrap on a sea-view terrace, in a design studio, and at the Mamelles lighthouse, in portrait format. The nine vary in crop, expression and light, so there are real choices, not nine identical files.

The Dakar Almadies register
This pack draws on Almadies — Dakar's creative economy at work: tailored bazin or wax co-ords, a sculptural headwrap, gold hoops. The palette runs bazin white, wax multicolor, terrace terracotta, and Atlantic blue: the vocabulary of a designer, gallerist, or art director whose office looks out at the ocean.
Three situations carry the register: seated at a low table on a sea-view terrace, coffee in hand, headwrap catching the light; standing in a studio beside a rack of tailored pieces and bolts of wax, a level confident gaze; and golden hour on the Mamelles hill, the lighthouse behind, fabric moving in the wind. The output is photoreal — a real-looking senegalese fashion photoshoot portrait of you, not a painting.
How to photograph yourself for a Dakar fashion 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, no sunglasses — a clear face gives the model the most to match under the headwrap.
- A level, confident gazeThis register reads as design-studio authority, not a casual smile — the terrace and the lighthouse cell both want composure.
- Plain background is fineThe terrace, the studio, and the lighthouse hill 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 Dakar fashion photoshoot?
- Yes. The output is photoreal — a real-looking photograph of you in tailored bazin on a sea terrace, in a design studio, or on the Mamelles hill at golden hour. Not a painting, not a cartoon.
- Which scenes does the pack cover?
- Three that trace Almadies: a morning sea terrace, a midday design studio, and the Mamelles lighthouse at golden hour. Nine portraits, three per scene.
- Can men use this pack?
- The tailored bazin and headwrap render as a female sitter by default. Dakar Plateau covers the male business-professional register separately.
- Can I use it commercially?
- It's for personal use — a profile picture, prints, a portfolio header — not licensed stock photography for resale or ad campaigns.
- Who is this pack for?
- Designers, gallerists, and art directors in Dakar's creative economy — and anyone who wants a professional photo with the Atlantic actually in it.
- 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.

- Anyone who's watched the sun set from the Mamelles and wanted to see themselves dressed for it
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
