Is this a real photo taken in Saint-Louis?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of Saint-Louis. 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, not a painting or a cartoon, in the look of Saint-Louis.

Is it right for architects and designers?

Yes. It suits architects, conservation architects, urban designers and engineers, for a practice website, a tender, a conference programme or an author photo.

Why a blue and pink outfit in a five-colour city?

The facades carry five colours at their own proportions. The portrait wears two of them, so the sitter belongs to the street without matching 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.

The Island City of Balconies register

Saint-Louis was the first French colonial capital, on an island in a river mouth: houses with timber balconies painted in ochre, blue, pink, green and white, an iron bridge, fishing pirogues and a warm river light. The pack puts the architect there at the proportions the facades show, ochre and white dominant, in a blue linen suit over a pink blouse, two of the five.

She stands before an ochre wall with a blue timber balcony soft above, with warm light from one side and a catchlight in each eye. She stands on a timber balcony, a hand on its painted rail, pink and green facades soft across the street. And at half-length she stands on the quay while the painted houses line the island's bank behind her with the iron bridge's arches. The mood is a woman dressed in two of the colours her island's balconies are painted in.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of Saint-Louis. 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 architect 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 level, composed lookA architect's portrait should read as calm and attentive. A steady expression in your source photo carries over best.
A plain background is fineDo not worry about your own backdrop. The pack replaces it entirely.

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
