Is this a real photo taken at a Los Angeles pool?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of a Los Angeles pool. 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 this look, not a painting or a cartoon.

Is it right for artists and designers?

Yes. It suits painters, designers, architects and anyone who wants a colourful artist portrait for a studio page, a gallery bio or a profile picture.

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 David Hockney Style Photoshoot at the Pool register

A Hollywood Hills house in the 1970s with a turquoise pool, a pink stucco wall, a yellow door and a palm. The pack builds the portrait as a palette of five colours at stated weights, cream as the ground and the jacket, turquoise as the pool, pink as the wall, yellow and green in a pair of mismatched socks and the door.

He stands before the pink wall in round tortoiseshell glasses and a flat cap over a cream linen lapel, sits at the pool's edge with the trousers rolled and the socks beside the water, and stands at the water's edge with the wall, the door and the palm behind him under a clear sky. The sun is hard and bright. Linen, knit, painted stucco and pool water keep the colours apart.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of the pool. The palette and the house are borrowed as a setting; the photos are portraits of you, not pictures taken there.

How to photograph yourself for a david hockney style photoshoot portrait

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.
The right expressionGlasses or a hat in your source photo are fine; the pack adds its own round frames and cap.
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
