An Edward Gorey Costume Photoshoot
Nine photos of you in one setting
How your model is created from your photos
Every pack on Narcis, made with your face
Nine photographs of you in one setting: one pack of the Narcis catalogue.
Nine photographs of you, styled after Edward Gorey's Edwardian interiors — a floor-length raccoon fur coat and white plimsolls before cross-hatched wallpaper, the coat at a fogged garden balustrade, an Edwardian suit on a library ladder, in portrait format. The nine vary in crop, expression and light, so there are real choices, not nine identical files.

The Gorey Drawing Room register
This pack draws on Edward Gorey's Edwardian interiors — pen-and-ink cross-hatching made photographic: the fur coat to the ankles, white plimsolls, an urn, a child missing from the group portrait. The value is deadpan played completely straight.
Photographically the register is flat grey light and ink-black shadow, every surface a texture of lines. The palette runs ink black, paper white, fur brown, one aspidistra green.
Three looks carry the pack: the raccoon coat and plimsolls before cross-hatched wallpaper with an urn and aspidistra, the coat at a fogged stone balustrade with a croquet mallet, and the Edwardian suit on a library ladder with a stuffed cat. Three genuine plates from the same house, not one coat restaged.
The output is photoreal — a real-looking photograph of you in that world, not an illustration. It's a costume portrait; it isn't a depiction of Edward Gorey or any of his drawn figures, and it doesn't claim to be.
How to photograph yourself for an Edward Gorey costume photoshoot
Better source photos make better portraits.
- Even, soft lightStand near a window with indirect daylight on your face. The pack builds its own flat grey light on top — a flat, well-lit selfie gives it the clearest face to work from.
- Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly to three-quarter. No selfie-stick uplook, no shot from below.
- Face fully clearHair off the face, no hats, sunglasses, or filters in the source photo. A clear, front-facing photo is the best input for an AI portrait.
- A flat, deadpan expressionThe register suits a flat, unbothered look better than a grin — a calm expression blends more naturally into the frames.
- Plain background is fineDon't worry about your own backdrop — the pack's three settings replace it entirely. A plain wall behind you just helps the model focus on your face.
Frequently asked questions
- Will it actually look like a real photograph?
- Yes. The output is photoreal, built from the documented register: the raccoon coat before cross-hatched wallpaper, the coat at the balustrade, the suit on the library ladder.
- Is this a real depiction of Edward Gorey, or of me?
- It's a portrait of you. The pack borrows Gorey's Edwardian wardrobe and settings as a costume and visual reference; every frame is a portrait of you and doesn't depict Gorey or any of his drawn figures.
- Can women use this pack?
- The styling and sample set are built for men — the raccoon coat and Edwardian suit among them — so it reads masculine.
- Can I use this for a themed party invitation or profile picture?
- Yes — it's a striking, well-composed portrait that reads well on either, used honestly as a stylised AI photoshoot.
- Do I need an actual fur coat or wardrobe for this to work?
- You don't need any of it in real life.
- 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
