AI Founder Photoshoot

The founder's Singapore register

This is the founder's Singapore on point, not the postcard. The heritage shophouse office is where the startups actually sit — pastel timber shutters, exposed brick, long desks under dark roof trusses, the five-foot-way glowing at the end of the room. From there the pack moves to the biophilic tower, the green-wall atrium and sky garden of ferns and trailing vines that the city built into its architecture, then to the river quay at blue hour, where a row of lit pastel shophouses faces the financial towers across the black water. It is the polished, cosmopolitan register the city carries: sharp tailoring, an easy confidence, the crew held to Singapore's own mix — Chinese-Singaporean, Malay, South-Asian, the occasional expat.

In photographic terms: half-length and three-quarter framing, a palette that tracks the room — navy, white and teal shutter with warm timber in the shophouse; white, black and fern green in the tower; charcoal, shophouse amber and tower silver on the quay at dusk. Smart tailoring throughout — a slim navy suit over a tee, a white blazer, a charcoal suit with an open collar at blue hour — lit by tropical daylight through shutters and canopy, then the deep cool blue of the river hour with warm amber spilling from the shophouse row.

The output is a photograph, not an illustration — real photography of you in a real Singapore setting, with none of the AI gloss. Three registers, nine portraits: the shophouse office, the biophilic tower, and the river quay at blue hour.

How to photograph yourself for an AI founder photoshoot

Better source photos make better portraits.

1. Use soft, directional daylightStand near a window with indirect daylight on your face from one side — the same soft, directional light the pack uses. Avoid overhead lighting and phone flash; they compete with the register.
2. Shoot at eye level, front or three-quarterCamera at eye level, face front-facing or turned slightly. The pack frames you half-length, so a clean straight-on selfie for AI portraits works best — no selfie-stick uplook, no overhead angle.
3. Keep the background plainA plain wall lets the AI place the shophouse office, the green wall, or the quay behind you cleanly rather than fighting a busy backdrop.
4. Dress smartThe pack renders sharp tailoring — a blazer, a slim suit, a crisp collar. Starting from similar attire in your source photo keeps the portrait consistent with the polished founder register.

Frequently asked questions

What does the output actually look like — is it photorealistic?

Photorealistic. It reads as a real photograph of you in a Singapore setting — a heritage shophouse office, a biophilic green-wall tower, or the river quay at blue hour — not an illustration and not the plastic AI look.

Can I use these as LinkedIn headshots or on a team page?

Yes — that's the core use. Full-resolution, portrait-ratio, no watermark. The three registers give you variety so a team page doesn't read as nine copies of one shot, and a single polished frame carries your LinkedIn headshot or professional dp.

Is the register senior enough for a founder or C-suite profile?

Yes. The quay-at-blue-hour and shophouse-office registers read as composed and established — sharp tailoring, a confident stance, the financial towers behind you. It fits a founder, a C-suite leader, or a board profile without tipping into stiffness.

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.

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.
