A Film Producer Headshot at the Nollywood Lot

The Film Lot register

Nigeria's film industry is the second largest on earth, and its lots are compounds of sound stages and a backlot of painted mansion facades, dressed in gold and amber, brass and velvet, under a flat bright light. The pack puts the producer there in a gold silk blouse under a camel-gold linen coat, gold in every value from pale champagne to deep amber.

She stands before a wall of gold set dressing, soft behind her, with flat bright light from one side and a catchlight in each eye. She rests a hand on the painted steel of a sound stage's great door, amber light soft within. And at half-length she stands on the lot's concrete while the backlot's painted mansion facades run behind her in gold and amber. The mood is a woman dressed in the gold her lot dresses its sets in.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of a Lagos film lot. 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 film producer headshot

Better source photos make better portraits. An ordinary phone photo is enough, and a few habits sharpen the likeness.

1. Even, soft lightStand near a window with daylight on your face. Avoid overhead bulbs and phone flash, which flatten a face.
2. Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly. No shot from below, no stretched arm.
3. Face fully clearHair off the face, no sunglasses and no filters. A clear, front-facing phone photo is the best starting point.
4. A level, composed lookA film producer's portrait should read as calm and attentive. A steady expression in your source photo carries over best.
5. 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 a Lagos film lot?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of a Lagos film lot. 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 a Lagos film lot.

Is it right for producers and film people?

Yes. It suits producers, directors, casting leads, writers and media executives, for a company page, a festival catalogue, a press kit or a panel programme.

Does it look like a film still?

It looks like a photograph of a person on a film lot: flat bright light, gold dressing and painted facades, composed as a headshot rather than as a scene.

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.
