The Hilltop register
Howard University stands on the Hilltop in Washington, its Founders Library built of red brick with a white clock tower, and the yard laid out before it. The pack reduces the campus to two colours: old red brick as the larger weight, the university's deep blue as the lesser. The professor wears the blue, a navy jacket over a cream blouse.
She stands against the library's red brick beside an arched window with white trim, sits on the library steps with a closed book on her knee, and stands on the path in the yard as the clock tower rises behind her. The light is soft afternoon light, warm on the brick.
What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of the Hilltop. The place and the jacket are borrowed as a setting; the photos are portraits of you, ready in seconds, not pictures taken in Washington.
How to photograph yourself for a professor 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 warm, assured lookA faculty portrait reads best when it is welcoming and sure. A natural, composed expression in your source photo carries over.
- 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 Howard?
- No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of the Hilltop. It is not a picture taken there.
- Is it right for a university or faculty profile?
- Yes. It suits professors, lecturers, researchers and deans for a department page, a book jacket or a conference bio.
- Why brick red and blue?
- Old red brick and a deep university blue are the two colours of the place, and the brick carries the larger weight. The portrait uses nothing else.
- Will it look like a real photograph?
- Yes. Every photo is photoreal: a real-looking photograph of you in the Hilltop campus in Washington, in front of the red brick library, not a painting or a cartoon.
- 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 website, a profile, a business card or a press page.
- 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
