The The Villa register
The villa above Malibu is modelled on a Roman house buried at Herculaneum, its peristyle garden lined with columns and its walls painted in Pompeian red. The pack takes that deep earth red as its palette and dresses the classics professor in it: a Pompeian-red silk blouse under a rust jacket.
She stands in the colonnade before a red-painted wall with a column soft beside her, sits on a stone bench beside the long pool with the red walls behind, and stands at the pool's end with the bronze statues and columns running away between the pillars. The light is soft Malibu light in the colonnade, warm off the red.
What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, set in a Roman villa garden above Malibu. The place and the wardrobe are borrowed as a setting; the photos are portraits of you, ready in seconds, not pictures taken there.
How to photograph yourself for a professor headshot
Better source photos make better portraits. An ordinary phone selfie 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 selfie is the best starting point.
- A learned, amused lookA bright, thoughtful expression in your source photo suits a woman who has read everything twice.
- 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 the location?
- No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of a Roman villa garden above Malibu. 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 a Roman villa garden above Malibu, not a painting or a cartoon.
- Is it right for a university or academic profile?
- Yes. It suits professors, classicists, historians, lecturers and researchers, for a department page, a book jacket or a conference bio.
- Why Pompeian red?
- It is the red of the villa's painted walls, copied from Roman houses. A blouse and jacket in the range make the scholar part of the wall she studies.
- 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.
- What if my photo is not great?
- A clear, well-lit phone photo of your face is enough to start. Even daylight, a straight angle and hair off the face fix most poor matches.
- Do I have to write anything?
- No. You pick the pack and it is ready in seconds. If a photo is nearly right, say what to change, in your own words.
- Can I use the photos commercially?
- Yes. The photos are yours to use anywhere, personal or commercial: a department page, a book jacket, a profile or a print.
- 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
