Is this a real photo taken at the coral stone town of Lamu?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of the coral stone town of Lamu. 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 the look of the coral stone town of Lamu, not a painting or a cartoon.

Is the light really that white?

Yes. The sea light on lime wash is hot and white, and the pack softens it so the face stays readable.

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.

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 register of the coral stone town of Lamu

Lamu is a Swahili town on an island with no cars, with houses of coral stone and white lime, carved wooden doors, narrow lanes, rooftop terraces, dhows with white sails, donkeys and a hot white sea light. The architect wears a white linen suit over a cream shirt, the colour of the lime wash.

He stands before a white lime-washed wall, rests a hand on the dark frame of a carved wooden door, and stands on a roof terrace with white terraces and coral walls spreading behind him to the sea and a dhow's white sail. The silhouette is the plain wall and the heavy door frame.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of the coral stone town of Lamu. 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 architect 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 calm, level lookA relaxed expression with the mouth closed or a slight smile carries over best.
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
