Marie de Bourgogne

The Marie de Bourgogne register

This pack draws on the heiress of Burgundy in the 1470s at Bruges and Ghent, dressed at the height fashion ever reached in the Low Countries — a fitted gown of crimson or gold brocade with a deep V neckline filled by a black velvet band, a wide black belt under the bust, long fur-lined sleeves, and a tall black hennin with a gauze veil floating from its point.

Three scenes carry it: a window of the Prinsenhof in Bruges with a hooded falcon on the fist, a canal path outside the city ridden side-saddle at ease, and a Ghent hall before a tapestry of a garden of love. The output is photoreal — a real hennin headdress photoshoot of you as the last Burgundian princess, not a painting or an illustration.

How to photograph yourself for a Marie de Bourgogne photoshoot

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

1. Even, soft lightStand near a window with indirect daylight on your face. Avoid overhead bulbs and direct sun.
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. The hennin and the veil are the model's job; your face is yours.
4. A calm, bright attentionThis register wants the poise of a woman entirely at ease with a falcon on her fist — not a grin, not a stiff studio smile.
5. Plain background is fineThe Prinsenhof window, the canal path, and the Ghent hall replace whatever's behind you — a plain wall just helps the model read your face.

Frequently asked questions

Will it actually look like a real photograph, or a painting?

Photoreal. The output is a real-looking photograph of you in the brocade gown and the tall hennin with its floating veil — set at a Bruges window, a canal path, and a Ghent hall. Not a painting, not a cartoon.

Which scenes does the pack cover?

Three that trace her own world: a falcon at the Prinsenhof window, a ride along a Bruges canal, and a quiet hour in a Ghent tapestry hall. This runs as a real falconry photoshoot in every frame — nine portraits, three per scene.

Why the tall hennin instead of a lower headdress?

Because that verticality is exactly what fashion in Burgundy reached for at its height — a hennin headdress photoshoot only works if the hennin is genuinely tall and the veil genuinely floats.

How is this different from Midjourney or Lensa?

Text-to-image tools generate a woman who matches a description; avatar apps hand back stylised images that read plainly AI. This pack anchors every render to your uploaded face and keeps it photoreal, so the output is you, consistent across all nine.

Does this pack work for men?

This pack renders as a female sitter by default, matching Marie de Bourgogne's own dress. Upload your photo and the free preview shows you the likeness before you commit.

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 — profile pictures, prints, gifts — 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 your pack, never sold or shared.

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.
