Is this a real photo taken at this place?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of the place. 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 this setting, not a painting or a cartoon.

Is it right for architects and heritage designers?

Yes. It suits architects and heritage designers, for a staff page, a conference programme, a grant or profile application, or an author photo.

Black and white at the same weight is the whole idea of ablaq. A white suit over a black blouse keeps that balance.

Is this pack for women?

The wardrobe and styling are cut for women, 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 The Striped City register

In the old city of Damascus the courtyard houses are built in alternating bands of black basalt and white limestone, the style called ablaq. A fountain stands in every court, citrus trees grow beside it, carved wooden ceilings roof the rooms, and the light is soft. A white linen suit over a black silk blouse speaks in the same two stones.

She stands before a wall banded in black and white with soft light from one side, rests a hand on the banded rim of the courtyard fountain with a citrus tree soft behind, and stands on the court's paving as the striped walls and arches close around the fountain. The mood is an architect dressed in the two stones her city has built with since the caliphs.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of this place. 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 architect 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 steady, professional lookA portrait for architects and heritage designers should read as calm and competent. A level, attentive 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
