A Josephine Bonaparte Costume Photoshoot
Nine photos of you in one setting
How your model is created from your photos
Every pack on Narcis, made with your face
Nine photographs of you in one setting: one pack of the Narcis catalogue.
Nine photographs of you, styled after Joséphine's Malmaison — white muslin among roses in full bloom, a crimson velvet coronation train with a cameo diadem, white muslin and pearls in a tented music room, in portrait format. The nine vary in crop, expression and light, so there are real choices, not nine identical files.

The Joséphine Bonaparte register
This pack draws on Joséphine's Malmaison, 1800 to 1814 — the rose garden with two hundred and fifty varieties painted by Redouté, white muslin embroidered in silver, the coronation train of crimson velvet sewn with gold bees. The value is the Empire's most-documented estate at its three real scenes.
Photographically the register is soft warm light for the rose garden, candle and gold for the coronation, warm interior light for the music room; the palette runs white, rose, crimson velvet, gold bee, Malmaison green.
Three takes carry the pack: white muslin and a red cashmere shawl among roses in full June bloom with a straw hat, a crimson velvet coronation train and ermine collar with a cameo diadem at a step of gold, and white muslin and pearls on a striped silk sofa in a tented music room — three real settings from Joséphine's Malmaison, not one gown in three rooms.
The output is photoreal — a real-looking photograph of you in Joséphine's Malmaison, not a painting or an illustration. It's a costume portrait; it doesn't depict Joséphine herself.
How to photograph yourself for a Joséphine Bonaparte costume photoshoot
Better source photos make better portraits.
- Even, soft lightStand near a window with indirect daylight on your face. The pack builds its own garden and candlelight on top — a flat, well-lit selfie gives it the clearest face to work from.
- Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly to three-quarter. No selfie-stick uplook, no shot from below.
- Face fully clearHair off the face, no hats, sunglasses, or filters in the source photo. A clear, front-facing photo is the best input for an AI portrait.
- A warm, closed-mouth expressionThe Joséphine register favors a warm, closed-mouth smile over a wide grin — a gentle expression in your source photo blends more naturally into the garden and coronation frames.
- Plain background is fineDon't worry about your own backdrop — the pack's three settings replace it entirely. A plain wall behind you just helps the model focus on your face.
Frequently asked questions
- Will it actually look like a real photograph?
- Yes. The output is photoreal — a garden-lit or candlelit photograph, not a painting or an illustration — built from Joséphine's documented Malmaison: the rose garden, the coronation, the music room.
- Is this a real photo of Joséphine Bonaparte, or of me?
- It's a portrait of you. The pack borrows Joséphine's documented dress and setting — the white muslin, the rose garden, the crimson coronation train — as a visual reference; every frame is a portrait of you and doesn't depict Joséphine herself.
- Can men use this pack?
- The styling and sample set are built for women — the white muslin gown and coronation train among them — so it reads feminine.
- 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
