An International Lawyer Headshot at the Peace Palace

The Peace Palace register

The Peace Palace in The Hague houses the world court: a neo-Renaissance pile of red brick and grey granite with a tall clock tower, slate roofs trimmed in green copper, and gardens of clipped hedges around a fountain. The pack dresses the lawyer from its palette, a charcoal suit with a brick-red silk tie.

He stands before the red-brick wall with a course of grey granite soft behind him, rests a hand on the grey stone rim of the garden fountain with the facade soft behind, and stands on the gravel path with the palace and its clock tower rising over the clipped hedges. The light is soft Dutch light from the garden. The clock face stays unreadable and no flags appear.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of the Peace Palace in The Hague. 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 international lawyer 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, direct lookThese portraits read as composed and professional. A relaxed, attentive expression in your source photo carries over best.
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 Peace Palace in The Hague?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of the Peace Palace in The Hague. 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 the Peace Palace in The Hague, not a painting or a cartoon.

Who is it right for?

It suits international lawyers, barristers, legal advisers and law students, for a profile page, a conference programme, a directory listing or an author photo.

Why charcoal and brick red?

Red brick is the palace's main colour and grey granite its second. A charcoal suit and a brick-red tie take the same two values.

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.

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.
