The Garage register
On a residential street in Palo Alto, behind a house and under an old oak, stands the small wooden garage where the valley's first company was started. Its cedar shingle has weathered to a warm grey-brown. The pack puts the founder in that colour: a cedar-brown chore jacket over a stone shirt, the garage's small gable and its wooden door as the line behind him, in soft, dappled California light.
He stands before the shingled wall in the shade of the oak, leans a shoulder against the frame of the open wooden door with a plain workbench dim inside, or stands on the driveway while the garage sits small behind the old house. The mood is modest and a little amused: a man who knows that the big thing started in a very small place.
What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, set in a small shingled garage in Palo Alto, under an old oak. The place and the wardrobe are borrowed as a setting; the photos are portraits of you, ready in seconds, not pictures taken on location.
How to photograph yourself for a startup founder headshot
Better source photos make better portraits. An ordinary phone selfie is enough, and a few habits sharpen the likeness.
- Even, soft lightStand near a window with daylight on your face. Avoid overhead bulbs and phone flash, which flatten a face.
- Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly. No shot from below, no stretched arm.
- Face fully clearHair off the face, no sunglasses and no filters. A clear, front-facing phone selfie is the best starting point.
- A modest, quietly sure lookA relaxed, honest expression in your source photo suits a founder at the start.
- 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 Palo Alto garage?
- No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of a small shingled garage in Palo Alto, under an old oak. 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 a small shingled garage in Palo Alto, under an old oak, not a painting or a cartoon.
- Is it right for a founder or tech profile?
- Yes. It suits founders, engineers, product leads and early employees, for a pitch deck, an about page, a launch post or a conference bio.
- Is this the real garage?
- No. The garage is a setting, borrowed for its look and its story of small beginnings. The photos are portraits of you, with no company name or sign.
- 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.
- What if my photo is not great?
- A clear, well-lit phone photo of your face is enough to start. Even daylight, a straight angle and hair off the face fix most poor matches.
- Do I have to write anything?
- No. You pick the pack and it is ready in seconds. If a photo is nearly right, say what to change, in your own words.
- Can I use the photos commercially?
- Yes. The photos are yours to use anywhere, personal or commercial: a pitch deck, a company website, a launch post or a press page.
- 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.
All images are AI-generated. By using this service, you confirm you are 18+, that any face photo you upload is your own or used with explicit consent. Full Terms
