A Springboks Fan Photoshoot at Ellis Park

The match day register

Ellis Park in Johannesburg on a rugby match day is a stadium of the national green and gold, packed with a crowd. The pack puts a man in a green jersey with gold into those stands, in the nation's own pair of colours.

Head and shoulders in the jersey with the stands soft behind, chest-up at the rail, and half-length on the concourse. The light is hard. Green is the heavier colour and gold the lighter, with no third hue.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of a South African rugby match. The place and the jersey are borrowed as a setting; the photos are portraits of you, not pictures taken at the stadium.

How to photograph yourself for a springboks fan photoshoot

Better source photos make better portraits. An ordinary phone photo is enough, and a few habits sharpen the likeness.

1. Even, soft lightStand near a window with daylight on your face. Avoid overhead bulbs and phone flash, which flatten a face.
2. Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly. No shot from below, no stretched arm.
3. Face fully clearHair off the face, no sunglasses, no cap and no filters. A clear, front-facing phone photo is the best starting point.
4. A relaxed expressionA calm, easy look in your source photo carries over best into the finished portraits.
5. A plain background is fineDo not worry about your own backdrop. The pack replaces it entirely.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a real photo taken at Ellis Park in Johannesburg?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of Ellis Park in Johannesburg. 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 Ellis Park in Johannesburg, not a painting or a cartoon.

Is it an official jersey?

Is this pack for men?

Between six and twenty, from different days and in different light, with your face clear. We check each one when you add it.

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.
