A Newlands Cricket Ground Photoshoot

The Newlands green register

Newlands in Cape Town sits below the wall of Table Mountain, with old oaks around the ground and an outfield of bright green. The pack puts a woman in a green cotton dress on the grass bank, in the ground's own green, with the mountain held grey and low behind.

Head and shoulders under the oaks with the mountain soft, chest-up on the grass bank, and half-length at the boundary. The light is bright. Cotton, turf, leaf and rock keep four different greens and greys.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of a Cape Town cricket ground. The place and the dress are borrowed as a setting; the photos are portraits of you, not pictures taken in South Africa.

How to photograph yourself for a newlands cricket ground photoshoot

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, no cap and no filters. A clear, front-facing phone photo is the best starting point.
4. A relaxed expressionA calm, easy look in your source photo carries over best into the finished portraits.
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 Newlands in Cape Town?

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.
