Is this a real photo taken at the Durbar Court?

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

Is it right for diplomats, civil servants, policy advisers and executives?

Yes. It suits diplomats, civil servants, policy advisers and executives, for a ministry or embassy page, a think-tank profile, a conference programme or a book jacket.

The court is cream Portland stone, red and grey granite and rose marble. A charcoal suit with a dusty-rose tie picks the quietest of those hues and keeps the rest to the building.

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 Durbar Court register

The foreign ministry in Whitehall hides a courtyard: a Victorian hall roofed in glass over three levels of arches in red and grey granite, pink marble and cream Portland stone, the floor a mosaic of coloured marble built for a durbar that never came. The pack puts the diplomat in the court. The palette is stated and held: cream Portland forty, red granite twenty-five, grey granite twenty, rose marble fifteen.

He stands before a column of red granite with the cream arches soft behind him in a charcoal suit and a dusty-rose tie, rests a hand on the marble balustrade of the first-floor gallery with the mosaic floor far below, and stands at the court's centre as the three levels of arches rise behind him in red, grey and cream to the glass roof. The light is soft and falls from above, the face modelled from the top.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of the Durbar Court. 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 diplomat 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 calm, direct lookA relaxed, attentive expression in your source photo carries over best into every frame of the pack.
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
