Will it actually look like a real photograph, not an AI filter?

Yes. The output is photoreal -- a real-looking photograph of you in a burgundy velvet jacket, candlelight and stained oak behind, chest-up and headshot framing throughout. It's built from your own uploaded face, not a painting or an obvious filter pass.

What's the difference between the free preview and the full pack?

The free preview is one photo from your uploaded face, shown live in seconds so you can judge the likeness before you commit. The full pack is nine photos across the same three settings -- different crops, expressions, and light.

Is this pack built for men or women?

The wardrobe and world here are built for men -- the burgundy velvet jacket and tastevin are cast for that frame. The house's sibling pack, The Florist in Amaryllis Red, carries the same December-trade register for women.

How is this different from a generic AI headshot filter?

Most generic filters default to one flat studio look. This pack is built around a specific world -- a candlelit Burgundy cellar in tasting season -- across three genuinely different settings, not one backdrop repeated.

Can I use this for my restaurant's website or wine list?

Yes -- that's the pack's own use case. The cellar chest-up, the limestone-wall headshot, and the candle-raised-glass frame all read as a genuine sommelier portrait for a website, a wine list, or a press feature.

Can I use the photos commercially, on a company website or in print?

Personal professional use like this is fine -- a restaurant website, a wine list, a printed business card. It isn't licensed for resale of the images themselves.

Do I need the burgundy velvet jacket in real life?

No -- the pack builds the wardrobe and the setting around your uploaded face. You don't need any of it in your closet; that's what the photoshoot supplies.

Can I use one photo or do I need several?

One clear, front-facing phone photo is usually enough. More angles improve likeness slightly -- the free preview tells you whether one photo is sufficient before you commit.

What if my source photo isn't great?

One clear phone selfie is usually enough. The free preview shows you the likeness in seconds -- if it's off, even, soft light on your face is the fastest fix.

What happens to the photo I upload?

Your photo is processed on European servers to generate your preview and, if you continue, your full pack. It is not sold or shared with third parties.

The The Sommelier in Burgundy register

The Sommelier in Burgundy draws on a vaulted cellar in January, tasting season in Burgundy -- barrels stained wine-red at the bung, a candle on an upturned cask. It's the portrait for the restaurant's site and the wine list's last page.

Photographically the license is the wine as the light's colour: everything seen as if through a glass of pinot. Three settings carry the pack -- a cellar chest-up with barrels blurred behind, a tight headshot against wine-stained limestone, and a frame with a glass raised to the candle -- chest-up and headshot throughout.

The output is photoreal: a real-looking photograph of you in a burgundy velvet jacket, built from your own uploaded face -- not a painting, not a generic filter.

Whichever name finds it -- restaurant team headshots, burgundy outfit winter, and tone on tone outfit -- the register is the same: one hue, head to toe.

How to photograph yourself for The Sommelier in Burgundy portraits

Better source photos make better portraits. The pack works with an ordinary phone selfie -- the free preview tells you in seconds -- but a few things sharpen the likeness before the wardrobe and the winter light go on top.

Even, soft lightStand near a window with indirect daylight on your face. The pack builds its own studio or location 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 heavy filters in the source photo. A clear, front-facing photo is the best input for an AI portrait.
A composed expressionThis register favours a knowing half smile over a big grin -- a genuine expression in your source photo blends more naturally into the candlelit 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.

About narcis

Most AI portrait tools ship every pose, profession, era, and aesthetic in one giant catalog. The output looks like every other AI photo on the internet — a glaze over a stock face. Narcis goes the other way. One tool, one job: turn photos of you into portraits worth keeping. Drop a selfie and your free preview streams in seconds — a quick sketch: close, not you yet. For portraits that are truly you, train your own model on 12 to 20 photos; it trains in the background, and we email you when it is ready. Train once, render everywhere — this pack, every other pack, and the Studio all come out of that one model, about ten seconds a portrait, and it stays yours to retrain or delete. Each pack is hand-curated against actual references — paintings, photographers, registers — and tested on real faces before it ships. See a free preview before you pay, not after. Packs are one-time — no subscription to buy one; Studio, the unlimited composer, is optional at €12/month and every pack includes 30 days of it. No template generator. Built and run by one team, on our own infrastructure.
