Will it look like a real photograph?

Yes. Every photo is photoreal: a real-looking photograph of you in the look of the Rapenburg canal in Leiden in May, not a painting or a cartoon.

Who is this professor headshot for men suited to?

Professors, lecturers, researchers, graduate students and writers, for a faculty page, a conference programme, a grant application or an author photo.

Why brick red and green?

Brick and lime leaf are what the street is made of. Wearing both, with only cream between, keeps the portrait tied to the place and the colours well apart.

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 Rapenburg register

The Rapenburg is Leiden's finest canal: gabled brick houses, lime trees in new leaf over the water, the old academy building and the gate of the botanical garden. In May the brick and the leaf are at their best, with soft Dutch light.

The professor wears a brick-red wool jacket over a cream shirt with a green knit tie, a pair of brick and leaf like the street. He is shown head and shoulders against brick with lime leaf soft at the edge of the frame, chest-up at the canal rail where gables and green are reflected, and half-length on the quay before the academy gate.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of the Rapenburg canal in Leiden in May. 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 these portraits

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, direct lookA relaxed, attentive expression in your source photo carries over best into the finished portraits.
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
