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 a 1927 Prohibition-era Chicago speakeasy — the alcove at a steel password door, the brass rail, a tufted leather booth, in portrait format. The nine vary in crop, expression and light, so there are real choices, not nine identical files.

The Speakeasy Chicago photoshoot register
Chicago, 1927, behind the barbershop: a gangster photoshoot in chalk-stripe three-piece suits, fedora brims low, collar pins, an overcoat draped square on the shoulders. The speakeasy aesthetic is underworld portraiture — tungsten pools in deep shadow, warm monochrome, menace worn as tailoring rather than shown as violence.
The palette is charcoal stripe, whiskey amber, brass, ink. Three moods: a brick alcove at a steel password door, hard top-light carving the fedora's shadow; the brass rail inside, one elbow on the mahogany bar, watch chain catching lamp glow; a tufted leather booth, hat on the table beside a teacup of whiskey, a green-shaded lamp granting the room's business dissolving dark behind.
The output is photoreal, not a costume-party snapshot — a real-looking photograph of you at that door, that bar, that booth. A 1920s men photoshoot only lands when it reads as an actual photograph from that year.
How to photograph yourself for a Speakeasy Chicago photoshoot
Better source photos make better portraits.
- Even, soft lightWindow light on your face, no overhead bulbs or flash — the tungsten-pool register needs real facial detail to build from.
- Front or three-quarter angleEye level, facing the camera or turned slightly. No selfie-stick uplook.
- Face fully clearNo hats or sunglasses in the source photo — the model needs your face fully visible to build the fedora-shadow look convincingly.
- A calm, composed expressionThe underworld register is a half-smile that closes deals, not a grin — a level, confident gaze reads truest.
- Plain background is fineThe speakeasy replaces your backdrop entirely — a plain wall behind you just keeps the model's focus on your face.
Frequently asked questions
- Will it actually look like a real photo?
- Yes. The output is photoreal — a real-looking portrait of you at the password door, the brass rail, and the booth — not an illustration or a costume-party snapshot.
- Which scenes does the pack cover?
- Three moods from Prohibition-era Chicago: the alcove at a steel password door, the mahogany brass rail, and a tufted leather booth. Nine portraits, three per scene.
- Is it honest to post this as an actual outing photo?
- It's a genuine portrait of you, styled in that speakeasy — not a photo taken there. Use it as a dream shot or a portrait you love; presenting it as an actual outing is a different use.
- How is this different from renting a gangster costume for a party?
- A real Prohibition-era shoot means sourcing a fitted chalk-stripe suit, a fedora, a moody bar location, and a photographer who can light tungsten pools correctly. This gives you the same door, the same bar, the same booth.
- Can women use this pack?
- The tailoring — three-piece suits, fedoras — is built for men's Prohibition style. It reads as menswear.
- 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.

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.
