The The Citadel Mound register
Erbil's citadel stands on a mound thirty metres high that has been lived on for six thousand years. A ring of ochre mud-brick houses sits around its rim, a gate opens on lanes of the same ochre, and a city of pale stone spreads below in dry light. An ochre linen suit over a cream silk blouse belongs to the mound.
She stands before ochre mud brick with dry light softened from one side, rests a hand on the pier of the citadel's gate with a lane soft behind, and stands on the ramp as the ring of houses crowns the mound above her. The mood is a woman who digs the past, dressed in the earth the oldest town has stood on.
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 archaeologist 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 archaeologists and heritage researchers 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.
Frequently asked questions
- 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 archaeologists and heritage researchers?
- Yes. It suits archaeologists and heritage researchers, for a staff page, a conference programme, a grant or profile application, or an author photo.
- Why this palette?
- A mound of mud brick is a single warm earth. Linen and silk in ochre and cream keep the portrait inside it.
- 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.

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
