Is this a real photo taken in a Dakar atelier?

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

Is it right for designers and creatives?

Yes. It suits fashion designers, tailors, stylists, textile artists and art directors, for a label website, a lookbook, a portfolio or a press page.

Does the pack reproduce a specific print?

No. The wax-print bolts are the setting, held soft behind him; the portrait is a photograph of a person in a suit and shirt.

Is this pack 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 Wax Print Atelier register

Dakar has a tailoring tradition of its own, and this atelier sits in the design quarter: white walls and a concrete floor, bolts of wax-print cotton hung from a rail in indigo, orange, yellow, green and white patterns, and a bright light from a courtyard. The pack puts the designer there at the print's proportions, indigo and orange dominant, in an indigo linen suit over a yellow shirt.

He stands before a wall of hung wax-print bolts in indigo and orange, soft behind him, with bright light from one side and a catchlight in each eye. He rests a hand on a folded bolt at the cutting table, a white wall soft behind. And at half-length he stands on the concrete floor while the rail of patterned bolts runs behind him in its five colours to the courtyard door. The mood is a man dressed in two of the five colours his atelier cuts its cloth from.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of a Dakar atelier. 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 fashion designer 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.
A level, composed lookA fashion designer's portrait should read as calm and attentive. A steady 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
