An Architect Headshot on the Painted Hill

The Architect headshot register

The old upper town of the first capital climbs a steep hill of colonial houses painted pink, yellow, blue, green and white, with white stucco trim, cobbled squares and a church of gold inside. The facades show the five colours at fixed proportions, yellow and pink dominant. The pack puts the architect there wearing two: a blue linen suit over a yellow blouse.

She stands before a pink stucco wall with white trim in warm light softened from one side, rests a hand on the frame of a green shutter on a yellow facade with a blue wall soft beside her, and stands on the cobbles at half-length as the painted houses rise up the square in their five colours. A woman dressed in two of the colours her hill was painted in.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of the hill. 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 an architect 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. Dress near the lookThe pack renders a plain jacket and blouse in solid colours. The closer your source photo is to that register, the sharper the likeness.
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 hill?

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

Who is architect headshot for?

It suits architects, restoration architects, urban designers and heritage consultants, for a firm page, a conservation report or a lecture programme.

Why this colour?

The hill is painted in five colours and the sitter wears two, blue and yellow. That is enough to belong to the facades while the pink and green stay behind her.

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.
