The Vermilion Walls register
At the centre of Beijing stands the emperors' palace: vermilion walls running for hundreds of metres under yellow-glazed tile roofs, white marble terraces and bridges, bronze lions, vast grey-paved courtyards, and a dry clear northern light. The pack pairs vermilion and imperial yellow at matched saturation, the vermilion dominant: a vermilion wool coat and a gold silk scarf.
She stands before a long vermilion wall with a catchlight in each eye, rests a hand on the carved balustrade of a white marble terrace with the yellow-tiled roof soft above the red, and takes the courtyard at half-length with the wall running away behind her under its yellow roof to a far gate, on the grey paving. The light is dry and clear from one side. The mood is a woman dressed in the two colours only an emperor was allowed.
What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of the Forbidden City in Beijing. 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 conservator 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 level, attentive lookA calm, composed expression in your source photo carries over best into a professional portrait.
- 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 in the Forbidden City in Beijing?
- No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of the Forbidden City in Beijing. 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 Forbidden City in Beijing, not a painting or a cartoon.
- Who is this pack for?
- It suits conservators, curators, museum staff and heritage professionals, for a museum staff page, a conservation report, a conference programme or a profile picture.
- Why vermilion and gold?
- They are the palace's colours, the red of the walls and the yellow of the roofs. Wool for the vermilion and silk for the gold keep them distinct, with grey stone paving as the neutral.
- 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
