Train Your Model Once, Render Essayist Olive Cord in About Ten Seconds
Studio-Quality Results Without a Studio Visit
Narcis generates a free preview of your essayist olive cord from one uploaded photo. The preview streams in seconds — a quick sketch, close but not you yet. If you like it, train your model once — 12 to 20 photos, we email you when it's ready — and the full pack of nine is €9,99, rendered from your model in about ten seconds a portrait. No signup before the preview, and no waiting for an email until you choose to train.
The pack is nine professional essayist olive cord rendered in portrait aspect ratio (2:3) — the shape LinkedIn banners, CVs, and print profiles actually use. Each image shows varied crops, expressions, and light angles so you have real choices, not nine identical files.
Photos are processed on European servers. We use your photo to generate your headshots; we do not share it with third parties.

The Essayist's Contributor Photo register
This pack draws on the magazine's own contributor photo: an olive corduroy blazer over a fine knit, reading glasses pushed into the hair — the writer headshot that runs beside a byline, in a workroom of olive-painted walls and pinned manuscript pages.
Photographically the register is grey wintry window light raking the corduroy's wale against matte paint — a green monochrome built from the room itself. Three frames: the olive wall and pinned pages blurred behind, a tight headshot with the glasses on, and the window with bare trees and a mug at the frame's edge.
The output is photoreal — a genuine-looking contributor headshot built from your own uploaded face. It borrows the workroom's register, not a claim to any real magazine or masthead.
How to photograph yourself for the essayist contributor headshot
A clean source photo makes a sharper writer headshot — the free preview tells you in seconds.
- Even, soft lightFace a window with indirect daylight. The pack adds the workroom's grey window light on top of a clearly lit face.
- Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level. No selfie-stick uplook.
- Face fully clearHair loose or however you like — no sunglasses in the source photo.
- A wry, sharp expressionThe register favours dry amusement over a big grin — one eyebrow up, a level look, carries through best.
Frequently asked questions
- Will this look like a real professional photo?
- Yes — the output is photoreal, built from documented contributor-photo details: an olive corduroy blazer, pinned manuscript pages, grey window light.
- Is this a real magazine?
- It's a workroom and contributor-photo register built for the pack — no real magazine or masthead is depicted. The portrait is of you, in that register.
- Can I use this as my author photo or LinkedIn photo?
- Yes — that's the intended use. It's framed chest-up and headshot throughout, built for a writer's professional page.
- What's the difference between the free preview and the full pack?
- The free preview is one photo from your uploaded face, shown in seconds. The full pack is nine photos across the workroom wall, the glasses-on headshot, and the window — different crops, expressions, and light.
- What if my source photo isn't great?
- One clear phone selfie is usually enough. The free preview shows you the likeness first.
- What happens to the photo I upload?
- Your photo is processed on European servers for your preview and pack. It isn't sold or shared with third parties.

About narcis
Most AI portrait tools ship every pose, profession, era, and aesthetic in one giant catalog. The output looks like every other AI photo on the internet — a glaze over a stock face. Narcis goes the other way. One tool, one job: turn photos of you into portraits worth keeping. Drop a selfie and your free preview streams in seconds — a quick sketch: close, not you yet. For portraits that are truly you, train your own model on 12 to 20 photos; it trains in the background, and we email you when it is ready. Train once, render everywhere — this pack, every other pack, and the Studio all come out of that one model, about ten seconds a portrait, and it stays yours to retrain or delete. Each pack is hand-curated against actual references — paintings, photographers, registers — and tested on real faces before it ships. See a free preview before you pay, not after. Packs are one-time — no subscription to buy one; Studio, the unlimited composer, is optional at €12/month and every pack includes 30 days of it. No template generator. Built and run by one team, on our own infrastructure.
