Raffia Straw
Nine photos of you in one setting
How your model is created from your photos
Every pack on Narcis, made with your face
Nine photographs of you in one setting: one pack of the Narcis catalogue.
Nine photographs of you, styled in raffia inside a Madagascar guesthouse veranda — a woven mat behind half-lowered raffia blinds, a wall of hung raffia bags, and the veranda's open edge, in portrait format. The nine vary in crop, expression and light, so there are real choices, not nine identical files.

The Raffia Straw register
This pack borrows its register from a Madagascar guesthouse veranda: raffia is palm fibre, split and dried to one pale gold that holds light along every flat strand — woven into a hat it is a lattice of small shadows. The wardrobe is raffia from wide-brimmed hat to woven dress — a crochet dress under a hat, a bralette with a fringe skirt, a woven jacket over a linen slip — against raffia blinds and raffia mats on the veranda, so the picture reads as one straw-gold at every depth with the face its only other colour.
Photographically the separation is ton sur ton: garment and ground share the hue, and texture, specular highlight, and the direction of light carry it instead — hard island sun through a blind throws the hat's lattice as small shadows against the blind's bright bars, side light rakes a fringe skirt into moving strands against a bag wall's tight weave, low late sun glows through the blinds and rims a jacket's open weave. One shell is the only accent.
The output is photoreal — an actual-looking photograph of you on that veranda, not an illustration or a resort-catalogue render. It's a costume portrait; nobody else's likeness is in it.
How to photograph yourself for a raffia photoshoot
Better source photos make better portraits.
- Even, soft lightStand near a window with indirect daylight on your face. The pack builds the veranda's own hard island sun on top of your selfie, so 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 or sunglasses in the source photo. A clear, front-facing photo is the best input for an AI portrait — the pack's own wide raffia hat goes on top.
- A warm, easy smileThe island-veranda register favours a relaxed, sun-warmed look over a stiff pose — an easy smile in your source photo blends more naturally into the raffia frames.
- Plain background is fineDon't worry about your own backdrop — the pack's woven mat, bag wall, and veranda edge replace it entirely. A plain wall behind you just helps the model focus on your face.
Frequently asked questions
- Will it actually look like a real photograph?
- Yes. The output is photoreal — a genuine-looking veranda photograph, not an illustration or a resort-catalogue render — built around raffia in three real settings: the mat by the blinds, the wall of hung raffia bags, and the veranda's edge.
- Is this real raffia, or does the AI just paint it on?
- You don't need any actual raffia; that's what the photoshoot supplies.
- Is this pack built for men or women?
- The wardrobe and sample set here are built for women — a raffia crochet dress, a bralette with a fringe skirt, and a woven jacket among them.
- 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 island visit, it works well on any profile.
- 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
