A Broker Headshot on a Park Slope Stoop

The Park Slope register

Park Slope in Brooklyn is block after block of brownstone row houses with high stoops and iron railings, on streets of plane trees running down to the great park. The pack dresses the broker in brownstone: a chocolate wool overcoat over a brown merino, with the stoop's long climb and its curved iron rail as the silhouette.

He stands on a high stoop with the carved brownstone doorway soft behind him in autumn light through the trees; he leans on the stoop's iron rail halfway down the steps, one hand in his coat pocket; and he stands on the sidewalk with the long row of brownstones and their stoops running away down the tree-lined street. Separation comes from stone, wool, iron and leaves.

What comes out is photographic: nine photographs of you, three in each of three settings, set in the look of Park Slope. The place and the wardrobe are borrowed as a setting; the photographs are portraits of you, not pictures taken on location.

How to photograph yourself for a broker headshot

Better source photos make better portraits. An ordinary phone selfie 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 selfie is the best starting point.
4. A trustworthy, relaxed lookA level, approachable expression in your source photo suits a man whose business is being believed.
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 in Park Slope?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of Park Slope in Brooklyn. 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 the look of Park Slope in Brooklyn, not a painting or a cartoon.

Why brownstone brown?

The facades, the carved lintels and the stoops are all one chocolate sandstone. A wool coat in the same shade makes the broker look like he belongs to the block he sells.

Is it right for a real estate profile?

Yes. It suits brokers, realtors, property managers and agents, for an agency page, a listing site or a business card.

What are the three settings?

On a high stoop before a carved doorway, leaning on the iron rail halfway down the steps, and on the sidewalk before the long row of brownstones.

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.

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.
