Is this a real photo taken at the Huntington?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of the desert garden. It is not a picture taken there.

Is it right for a plant, garden or science profile?

Yes. It suits botanists, horticulturists, garden designers and landscape architects for a website, a book jacket or a lecture bio.

The bloom on an agave leaf is powder blue-grey, and the whole garden shares it. A linen jacket in the same cool grey lets the portrait sit in the garden's own colour.

Will it look like a real photograph?

Yes. Every photo is photoreal: a real-looking photograph of you in the desert garden of the Huntington in California, not a painting or a cartoon.

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 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.

The Desert Garden register

The desert garden of the Huntington in San Marino, California, covers acres of agaves, aloes and barrel cacti in silvery blue-grey. A powdery bloom on the leaves gives the whole garden one cool colour. The pack puts the botanist in it, in a blue-grey linen jacket over a pale grey shirt.

He stands among tall agaves with their rosettes soft behind him, walks a gravel path beside a great agave whose leaves fan out at his shoulder, and stands on the path as the garden spreads toward old trees. The light is soft Pasadena morning light, from one side.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of the desert garden. The place and the wardrobe are borrowed as a setting; the photos are portraits of you, ready in seconds, not pictures taken in California.

How to photograph yourself for a botanist portrait

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 relaxed, open lookThe palette is cool and quiet. A relaxed, open expression in your source photo suits it.
A plain background is fineDo not worry about your own backdrop. The pack replaces it entirely.

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
