The Meridian register
On the hill above the Thames at Greenwich stands a red-brick observatory with an onion-domed telescope house, on the line of zero longitude. A brass strip is set in the courtyard stones, a red time ball on the roof drops at one o'clock, and the whole of London is laid out below. The pack puts the astronomer on the meridian. The ground is held to values, red brick, grey stone and sky, and brass is the single hue.
He stands before the red-brick wall with the charcoal suit and the brass tie bar catching the sun, plants one foot on each side of the brass strip with his hands in the jacket pockets, and stands at the iron rail of the terrace with the city small and grey below him and the river bending through it. The light is clear and low from the west, modelling the face.
What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of the Greenwich hill. 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 astronomer 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 calm, direct lookA relaxed, attentive expression in your source photo carries over best into every frame of the pack.
- 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 Greenwich observatory?
- No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of the Greenwich observatory. 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 Greenwich observatory, not a painting or a cartoon.
- Is it right for astronomers, physicists, historians of science and lecturers?
- Yes. It suits astronomers, physicists, historians of science and lecturers, for a department page, a society profile, a conference programme or an author photo.
- Why a single touch of brass?
- Red brick, grey stone and London sky are held to values, and the one hue is polished brass: a tie bar, echoed once in the meridian strip underfoot. One accent makes the portrait read as a decision.
- 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.
- 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
