A Physicist Headshot at the Yellow Institute

The The Yellow Institute register

On Blegdamsvej in Copenhagen stands the institute where quantum mechanics was argued out in the nineteen-twenties: a neoclassical building washed in Copenhagen yellow ochre with white windows, a park across the street and bicycles against the railing. This pack puts the physicist at the yellow institute. The palette is Copenhagen ochre, a warm yellow-brown.

He wears an ochre wool overcoat over a camel knit. He stands before the ochre wall with a white window frame soft at the picture's edge, stands on the institute's step with a hand on the black iron railing and a bicycle leaning soft behind, and stands on the pavement with the long ochre facade and its rhythm of white windows running behind him. The light is soft northern daylight.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of the institute. 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 physicist headshot

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 calm, attentive lookA level, attentive expression in your source photo carries over best into a scientist's portrait.
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 the institute?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of a Copenhagen institute. It is not a picture taken there.

Is there lettering on the building?

No. The facade carries no lettering, so the ochre and the white trim stay the picture.

Will it look like a real photograph?

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

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.

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.
