The Hudson Street register
Hudson Street in Greenwich Village is a block of brick row houses and corner shops, the street that Jane Jacobs watched from her window and defended from the highway planners. Her signs were the oversized round glasses and the short hair with bangs. The pack puts an urbanist of today on that street, in weathered brown and charcoal brick, with the green paint of the fire escapes as the one colour and a green shopfront to echo it once.
She stands on a stoop with the brick and a fire escape soft behind her, in a charcoal turtleneck under a tweed coat, rests a hand on the door of a corner shop with a green-painted front, or stands on the sidewalk while the block of stoops runs away down the street and neighbours move far off. The light is the afternoon light of the street, and the mood is alert and sociable: the person who watches how a street really works.
What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, set in Hudson Street in Greenwich Village, in the afternoon light. The place and the wardrobe are borrowed as a setting; the photos are portraits of you, ready in seconds, not pictures taken on location.
How to photograph yourself for an urban planner 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.
- An alert, curious lookA bright, attentive expression in your source photo suits someone who is watching the street.
- 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 Hudson Street in New York?
- No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of Hudson Street in Greenwich Village, in the afternoon light. 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 Hudson Street in Greenwich Village, in the afternoon light, not a painting or a cartoon.
- Is this a portrait of Jane Jacobs?
- No. It is a portrait of you. Her street and her round glasses are borrowed as the setting and the sign of an urbanist's eye, and the photos do not depict her.
- Is it right for a planning or public sector profile?
- Yes. It suits planners, architects, civic officers, community organisers, consultants and researchers, for a council page, a firm profile or a conference bio.
- 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 council or firm page, a conference bio, a report cover or a business card.
- 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
