A Neurologist Headshot at the Chapel Hospital

The look of the pack

In the thirteenth arrondissement of Paris stands the great hospital where neurology was founded, a city within a city of seventeenth-century pavilions in pale stone around a domed chapel with an octagonal nave, lime-tree courts and long stone galleries. The pack takes the cream-grey of weathered stone. She wears a cream wool coat over a pale grey dress.

The light is soft and diffuse in the stone courts, the face open. She stands before a pale stone wall of the old pavilions with a tall window's frame soft at the edge, rests a hand on a pier under a stone arcade with the lime court soft beyond, and stands on the gravel of the court with the chapel's dome rising behind her over the pavilions and the lime trees.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of the Salpêtrière hospital in Paris. 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 doctor 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, level lookA relaxed, attentive expression in your source photo carries over best into the finished portraits.
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 Salpêtrière hospital in Paris?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of the Salpêtrière hospital in Paris. 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 Salpêtrière hospital in Paris, not a painting or a cartoon.

Who is this doctor headshot for?

Neurologists, physicians, surgeons, general practitioners, residents and medical researchers, for a clinic website, a hospital staff page, a conference programme or an author page.

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.

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.
