Denim Jacket Portrait: A Dating Profile Photo for Men

The Light-Wash Denim register

A shopfront painted a pale blue under a clear sky gives a man one faded colour to stand in. The pack dresses him in a light-wash denim jacket over a white tee, so the jacket is the whole story and the wall and sky are its supporting cast.

Three framings: head and shoulders against the pale blue wood with the denim collar in view; chest-up at the kerb with clear sky above; half-length before the shopfront. Light is bright and soft. Denim, painted wood, sky and jersey each hold their own shade.

The result is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of a painted shopfront in spring. 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 denim jacket portrait

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 natural half-smileDenim reads casual, so a relaxed expression in your source photo matches the mood and carries over well.
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 at a pale blue-painted shopfront under a clear sky?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of a pale blue-painted shopfront under a clear sky. 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 a pale blue-painted shopfront under a clear sky, not a painting or a cartoon.

Is it right for a dating profile?

Yes. The nine photos give a dating app a head-and-shoulders first picture, a chest-up and a half-length, each with a different framing and a consistent look. They also work as a social or professional profile picture.

Why denim on blue?

Light-wash denim is a washed-out blue, close to the painted wood. Keeping them near each other lets the white tee and the face stand out.

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.
