A Scheherazade Costume Photoshoot
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 after Léon Bakst's 1910 Ballets Russes costume — gold gauze trousers and pearls in a lamplit chamber, a deep blue robe at a lattice window, mid-turn on a tiled floor, in portrait format. The nine vary in crop, expression and light, so there are real choices, not nine identical files.

The Scheherazade register
This pack draws on Léon Bakst's 1910 costumes for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes production of the Thousand and One Nights — the sultan's chamber of emerald and orange, gold gauze harem trousers, a jewelled bodice, the lamp and the story that stops at dawn. The value is one of the most-copied costume designs of the twentieth century at its documented color and cut.
Photographically the register is warm brass lamplight for the chamber, cool dawn grey through a carved lattice for the ending, warm moving torchlight for the dance; the palette runs emerald, orange, gold gauze, pearl.
Three takes carry the pack: reclining on a mountain of emerald and orange cushions in gold gauze trousers and pearls by lamplight, a deep blue silk robe at a carved lattice window in first grey light, and mid-turn in the harem trousers with the sash flying on a floor of tiles — three real scenes from the ballet, not one costume in three rooms.
The output is photoreal — a real-looking photograph of you in Bakst's Ballets Russes color, not a painting or an illustration. It's a costume portrait; it isn't a depiction of any dancer who has performed the role.
How to photograph yourself for a Scheherazade costume photoshoot
Better source photos make better portraits.
- Even, soft lightStand near a window with indirect daylight on your face. The pack builds its own lamplight and dawn light on top — a flat, well-lit selfie 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 filters in the source photo. A clear, front-facing photo is the best input for an AI portrait.
- A knowing, mid-story expressionThe Scheherazade register favors a knowing, animated look over a plain smile — an alert expression in your source photo blends more naturally into the lamplit frames.
- Plain background is fineDon't worry about your own backdrop — the pack's three settings 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 lamplit or dawn-lit photograph, not a painting or an illustration — built from Bakst's documented 1910 costume design: the chamber, the lattice window, the dance.
- Is this a real photo of a dancer from the Ballets Russes, or of me?
- It's a portrait of you. The pack borrows Bakst's costume design and setting — the gold gauze trousers, the emerald bodice, the lamplit chamber — as a visual reference; every frame is a portrait of you.
- Can men use this pack?
- The styling and sample set are built for women — the gold gauze trousers and jewelled bodice among them — so it reads feminine.
- 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
