Will it actually look like a real photograph?

Yes. The output is photoreal -- a real-looking photograph, not a painting or an illustration -- built from projector photoshoot at three distinct takes. Standing in amber blind-stripes, seated in a green leaf shadow, and leaning inside a blue-to-pink gradient -- three real takes, not one repeated.

Is this a real photo of anyone, or of me?

It's a portrait of you. The pack borrows the Projector Pattern register as a costume and visual reference; every frame is generated from your own uploaded face.

What's the difference between the free preview and the full pack?

The free preview is one photo from your uploaded face, shown live in seconds so you can judge the likeness before you commit. The full pack is nine photos across three distinct takes of the register -- different crops, expressions, and light.

How is this different from a generic light pattern filter?

Most generic filters default to one vague look. This pack is built from three specific, deliberately different takes on the Projector Pattern register, so it reads as a real photoshoot rather than one effect repeated nine times.

Can men use this pack?

The styling and sample set are built for women -- the white slip dress and tank among them -- so it reads feminine. A men's version isn't shipped in this pack.

What if my source photo isn't great?

One clear phone selfie is usually enough. The free preview shows you the likeness in seconds -- if it's off, the prep tips above are the fastest fix, and lighting is the most common culprit.

Can I use this as a profile picture or on a dating app?

Yes -- it's a striking, well-composed portrait that reads well on either. Used honestly, as a stylised AI photoshoot rather than a claim of a real shoot, it works well on any profile.

What happens to the photo I upload?

Your photo is processed on European servers to generate your preview and, if you continue, your full pack. It is not sold or shared with third parties.

The Projector Pattern register

This pack belongs to the house's gels-et-projecteurs series: coloured light is the whole palette, the garments stay neutral, and the projected pattern names the frame. The projector pattern photoshoot draws on a cheap projector in a dark room throwing a pattern -- blinds, a leaf shadow, a slow colour gradient -- on whoever stands in front of a white wall.

Photographically the register runs three genuine takes: standing against the white wall with amber blind-stripes thrown across her and the wall behind, in a white slip dress, the stripes landing on the face and, offset, on the wall; seated on the floor with a green leaf shadow thrown over the lap and the wall, in a white shirt, the shadow breaking across the knees and falling whole on the wall; leaning on the wall inside a blue-to-pink gradient, in a white tank and trousers, the gradient sweeping across the body and the wall in one motion. The offset between the pattern on the sitter and the pattern on the wall is the separation.

The output is photoreal -- a real-looking home-studio photograph, not an illustration. It's a projector light portrait built from your own uploaded face, composed for the thrown-pattern register rather than pulled from any single reference photo.

How to photograph yourself for Projector Pattern portraits

Better source photos make better portraits. The pack works with an ordinary phone selfie -- the free preview tells you in seconds -- but a few things sharpen the likeness before the register goes on top.

Even, soft lightStand near a window with indirect daylight on your face. The pack builds its own light on top of your selfie -- a flat, well-lit source photo gives it the clearest face to work from.
Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly to three-quarter. No selfie-stick uplook, no shot from below.
Face fully clearHair off the face, no hats, sunglasses, or heavy filters in the source photo. A clear, front-facing photo is the best input for an AI portrait.
A relaxed, curious expressionThe projector register favors an easy, curious look over a fixed pose -- a relaxed, present expression in your source photo carries best under a thrown pattern.
Plain background is fineDon't worry about your own backdrop -- the pack's settings replace it entirely. A plain wall behind you just helps the model focus on your face.

About narcis

Most AI portrait tools ship every pose, profession, era, and aesthetic in one giant catalog. The output looks like every other AI photo on the internet — a glaze over a stock face. Narcis goes the other way. One tool, one job: turn photos of you into portraits worth keeping. Drop a selfie and your free preview streams in seconds — a quick sketch: close, not you yet. For portraits that are truly you, train your own model on 12 to 20 photos; it trains in the background, and we email you when it is ready. Train once, render everywhere — this pack, every other pack, and the Studio all come out of that one model, about ten seconds a portrait, and it stays yours to retrain or delete. Each pack is hand-curated against actual references — paintings, photographers, registers — and tested on real faces before it ships. See a free preview before you pay, not after. Packs are one-time — no subscription to buy one; Studio, the unlimited composer, is optional at €12/month and every pack includes 30 days of it. No template generator. Built and run by one team, on our own infrastructure.
