Lyon Confluence Portraits

The Lyon Confluence register

This pack draws on Lyon's design and biotech register — French tailoring: a blazer, a fine knit, straight trousers, loafers, a silk scarf. The palette runs orange-cube, museum glass, river green, and bouchon checked-red: the vocabulary of a quarter where two rivers meet and the old city's traboules and bouchons sit a tram ride north.

Three situations carry the register: standing on the quay at Confluence with the orange perforated cube behind, soft light off the water; seated at a checked-cloth table in a bouchon, a small glass and a plate, warm and amused; and standing in a Renaissance traboule with a spiral stair, portfolio under the arm, light from above. The output is photoreal — a real-looking lyon photoshoot portrait of you, not a painting.

How to photograph yourself for a Lyon photoshoot

Better source photos make better portraits. The pack works with an ordinary phone selfie — the free preview tells you in seconds — but a few things sharpen the likeness before you commit to the full pack.

1. Even, soft lightStand near a window with indirect daylight. Avoid overhead bulbs and flash.
2. Front or three-quarter angleEye level, facing forward or turned slightly. No selfie-stick uplook.
3. Face fully clearHair off the forehead, no sunglasses — a clear face gives the model the most to match.
4. A precise, warm expressionThis register reads considered rather than stiff — the bouchon cell wants amused warmth, the traboule wants quiet focus.
5. Plain background is fineThe cube, the bouchon, and the traboule replace whatever's behind you — a plain wall just helps the model focus on your face.

Frequently asked questions

Will it actually look like a real Lyon photoshoot?

Yes. The output is photoreal — a real-looking photograph of you at the Confluence cube, in a bouchon, or in a Renaissance traboule. Not a painting, not a cartoon.

Which scenes does the pack cover?

Three that trace Lyon: the Confluence quay at morning, a bouchon lunch at midday, and a traboule at late afternoon. Nine portraits, three per scene.

How is this different from a generic photo professionnelle studio or an AI headshot tool like HeadshotPro?

A studio photo professionnelle is one grey backdrop; a generic AI tool repeats it nine times. This gives you the actual orange cube, an actual bouchon, and an actual traboule — three genuinely different Lyon scenes from one selfie.

Can men use this pack?

The blazer-and-scarf register renders as a female sitter by default. A men's Lyon register isn't in this pack.

Does it look like me, or a generic model?

Whichever face you upload drives the render, so the nine come back looking like you in the blazer, not a stock actor.

What if my source photo isn't great?

One clear, front-facing selfie is enough. The free preview shows the likeness in seconds — if it's off, lighting is the usual fix.

Can I use it commercially?

It's for personal use — LinkedIn, prints, a portfolio header — not licensed stock photography for resale or ad campaigns.

What happens to the photo I upload?

Processed on European servers, used only to generate your preview and pack, never sold or shared.

Who is this pack for?

Designers and biotech professionals with ties to Lyon — or anyone who's had a bouchon lunch and wanted a photo of that exact table.

About narcis

Most AI portrait tools ship every pose, profession, era, and aesthetic in one giant catalog. The output looks like every other AI photo on the internet — a glaze over a stock face. Narcis goes the other way. One tool, one job: turn photos of you into portraits worth keeping. Drop a selfie and your free preview streams in seconds — a quick sketch: close, not you yet. For portraits that are truly you, train your own model on 12 to 20 photos; it trains in the background, and we email you when it is ready. Train once, render everywhere — this pack, every other pack, and the Studio all come out of that one model, about ten seconds a portrait, and it stays yours to retrain or delete. Each pack is hand-curated against actual references — paintings, photographers, registers — and tested on real faces before it ships. See a free preview before you pay, not after. Packs are one-time — no subscription to buy one; Studio, the unlimited composer, is optional at €12/month and every pack includes 30 days of it. No template generator. Built and run by one team, on our own infrastructure.
