The The Bristlecones register
High in Great Basin National Park in Nevada stands a grove of bristlecone pines, the oldest trees on earth, their twisted trunks polished silver and gold by thousands of years of wind. The pack takes that silver-gold as its palette and dresses the tree-ring scientist in it: a silver-gold suede jacket over a pale stone knit.
He stands beside a twisted bristlecone with its polished grain soft behind him, crouches on the pale scree with a hand on an ancient root and the trunk rising behind, and stands among the grove with the ancient trees on the pale slope under the peak. The light is clear and crisp, high-altitude light from the side.
What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, set in the bristlecone grove in Great Basin National Park. 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 scientist 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 patient, far-seeing lookA calm, steady expression in your source photo suits a man who reads centuries in rings.
- 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 the bristlecone grove in Great Basin National Park. 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 bristlecone grove in Great Basin National Park, not a painting or a cartoon.
- Is it right for a research or outdoor science profile?
- Yes. It suits tree-ring and climate scientists, forest ecologists, geologists and field researchers, for a lab page, a talk or a grant.
- Why silver and gold?
- Wind-polished bristlecone wood is silver and gold in its grain. Suede and knit in the same range put the scientist in the trees' own colour.
- Is this pack for men?
- The wardrobe and styling are cut for men, 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 lab page, a talk, 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
