The The Magic Gardens register
The Magic Gardens on South Street in Philadelphia is a labyrinth of walls covered in mosaic made of broken tile, mirror, bottles and bicycle wheels. The pack puts the artist in it. The mosaic is the palette, cobalt, turquoise, ochre, coral and mirror-silver, in broken shards. She wears two of them, a cobalt jumpsuit with an ochre scarf, and the glittering curves of the walls are the ground. No wall carries words.
She stands before a mosaic wall with the cobalt and mirror shards glittering soft behind her, rests a hand on the encrusted wall of a narrow passage with the shards rising on both sides, and stands in the middle of the open-air maze with its walls and arches under the sky. The daylight is broken into a hundred reflections by the mirrors. The mood is an artist inside a wall of fragments.
What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of the Magic Gardens in Philadelphia. 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 artist headshot
Better source photos make better portraits. An ordinary phone photo 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 photo is the best starting point.
- A lively, open lookAn artist's portrait should read as someone with something to show you. A bright, curious expression in your source photo carries over best.
- 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 Magic Gardens in Philadelphia?
- No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of the Magic Gardens in Philadelphia. 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 Magic Gardens in Philadelphia, not a painting or a cartoon.
- Is it right for artists and creative professionals?
- It suits painters, sculptors, mosaic and mixed-media artists, illustrators and gallery owners, for a portfolio site, an exhibition page, a grant application or a press kit.
- Why so many colours?
- The mosaic is built from cobalt, turquoise, ochre, coral and silver shards. The artist wears two of them so that she stands out from the wall without leaving it.
- Is this pack for women?
- The wardrobe and styling are cut for women, 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.
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
