The Mud-Walled City register
Kano is a thousand-year-old trading city of the Sahel: mud-brick walls, a palace with pinnacled roofs in ochre, a mud-walled old quarter, and the city's one colour, indigo, in the dye pits where cloth has been dyed for five centuries. The pack puts the conservator in the city in an ochre linen suit over a cream blouse, an indigo cloth folded over one arm.
She stands before a wall of ochre mud brick, soft behind her, the dry light softened from one side, the indigo the only hue. She rests a hand on the palace's pinnacled wall, the indigo soft at the frame's edge. And at half-length she stands on the earth lane while the ochre mud walls and pinnacled roofs run behind her, one indigo cloth hung drying far off. The mood is a woman in an ochre city holding its one colour.
What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of old Kano. 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 conservator 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 level, composed lookA conservator's portrait should read as calm and attentive. A steady expression in your source photo carries over best.
- 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 in old Kano?
- No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of old Kano. 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, not a painting or a cartoon, in the look of old Kano.
- Is it right for conservators and heritage workers?
- Yes. It suits conservators, curators, archivists, restorers and heritage architects, for an institution page, a conference programme or an author photo.
- Why one indigo?
- Kano's earth is ochre and its one colour is indigo. A single cloth echoes the dye pits once, against ochre values.
- 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.
- 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
