A Formentera Photoshoot in White and Blue

The Formentera Photoshoot register

Formentera is a flat white island of lighthouses and salt pans, ringed by a sea of an unlikely blue. In Sex and Lucia it is where a woman goes to start over. This pack photographs the island today: a white house, a bicycle, a long road, a sitter in a white cotton dress with wet hair.

Three frames. Head and shoulders against whitewash with the sea blue and soft behind in bright light. Chest-up at the lighthouse's wall. Half-length on the white road with the bicycle and the sea beyond. Only two colours appear, white the heavier, so the picture reads as a summer postcard.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings. The island and the film are borrowed as a place and a colour pair; the photos are portraits of you, not pictures taken in Spain.

How to photograph yourself for a Formentera photoshoot

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, steady expression in your source photo carries over best into the finished frames.
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 in Formentera?

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

Where is Formentera?

It is the smallest of the inhabited Balearic Islands, in the Mediterranean south of Ibiza.

Is it a beach pack?

Not quite. It is an island pack: walls, a lighthouse and a road, with the sea behind you rather than around your ankles.

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.
