Eid Portraits

The Eid register

Eid is the morning everyone dresses for — the gharara pressed, gold gota catching the light off a courtyard arch, the dupatta set just so and kept clear of the face. This pack puts you in that frame. Three looks carry it: a gold-embroidered gharara in a Mughal sandstone courtyard, a rose-gold embellished anarkali under warm lantern light, and a soft jamdani-muslin pastel in a whitewashed garden. Each look is shot three ways — emerald and ruby through to blush and powder-blue — so the nine portraits read like a real Eid gallery rather than the same photo nine times.

These are photographs, not paintings. The output is photoreal: your face and your features, dressed and lit like an Eid morning — broad soft daylight off the stone, the embroidery raised and legible, the courtyard soft behind you. It borrows the garment, the festival light, and the grammar of the day; it does not turn you into a cartoon, a painting, or a costume.

How to photograph yourself for Eid portraits

Good input, good Eid.

1. Soft, even lightFace a window with indirect daylight on you. Skip the overhead bulb and the hard noon sun — both flatten the face and kill the soft modeling the pack is built around.
2. Front or three-quarter, at eye levelHold the camera level with your eyes. No selfie up-angle, no looking down — the festive register wants you square to the lens.
3. Plain wall behind youLet the pack build the courtyard, the jali screen and the lanterns. A clean backdrop means the whole likeness budget goes to your face.
4. Hairline and face clearThe pack adds the dupatta, the jhumka and the matha-patti. Keep your hair off the face so your hairline and jaw read cleanly in the source photo.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a real Eid look or a costume filter?

It's built to read as a festive portrait, not a costume — real fabric, raised gota and zardozi, a Mughal courtyard, warm lantern light. What you get looks like a portrait a photographer would take on Eid morning.

Can I use these as an Eid greeting or my profile picture?

Yes. The portraits are yours to post, print, and send — the Eid Mubarak card, the WhatsApp wish, the Instagram status, the family group chat.

Can I choose the colours?

You get all nine portraits, and the three looks span the range women actually reach for at Eid — emerald, ruby and royal blue, rose-gold and wine, then soft sage, blush and powder-blue. Rather than picking one and hoping, you see the whole spread and decide what suits you.

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.

When the Eid pack fits

• Eid Mubarak greetings — the card and the WhatsApp wish, ready before the morning prayers.
• A festive profile picture for Eid, in a gharara you didn't have to stitch.
• Trying Eid colourways — emerald, ruby, rose-gold, soft pastels — before the tailor's last fitting.
• Diaspora Eid, picturing the day from a flat in London, Dubai, or Toronto.
• A gift for the mother or sister who runs the whole Eid and never lands in a photo.
• The family-chat festive portrait, when the real shoot disappears between the cooking and the guests.
