Is this a real photo taken at the Suleymaniye hill in Istanbul?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of the Suleymaniye hill in Istanbul. 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 the Suleymaniye hill in Istanbul, not a painting or a cartoon.

Is it right for architects, engineers and designers?

Yes. It suits architects, engineers and designers, for a profile page, a conference programme, a press kit or an author photo.

Lead, marble, wool and the Golden Horn all sit in the same family of greys. The portrait takes that range, so it belongs to the hill instead of standing against it.

Is this pack for men?

The wardrobe and styling are cut for men, 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.

The lead domes of Istanbul register

On the hill of Istanbul's old city stands the greatest work of the empire's master architect: a cascade of lead-grey domes and half-domes stepping down from one great dome, four slender minarets, grey stone courtyards and arcades, and the Golden Horn grey below. The pack puts the architect there, in every value of grey from silver to charcoal, in a grey wool overcoat over a charcoal knit.

He stands against an arcade pier with a lead half-dome soft above his shoulder, in the courtyard with one hand on a grey marble column and the domes stepping away above, and on the terrace paving at half-length with the whole cascade of domes and the minarets rising behind him. The light is soft and grey from the court, with a catchlight in each eye. The mood is a man dressed in the lead of the domes the master poured.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of the Suleymaniye hill in Istanbul. The place and the wardrobe are borrowed as a setting; the photos are portraits of you, not pictures taken there.

How to photograph yourself for a architect headshot

Better source photos make better portraits. An ordinary phone photo is enough, and a few habits sharpen the likeness.

Even, soft lightStand near a window with daylight on your face. Avoid overhead bulbs and phone flash, which flatten a face.
Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly. No shot from below, no stretched arm.
Face fully clearHair off the face, no sunglasses and no filters. A clear, front-facing phone photo is the best starting point.
A calm, direct lookA relaxed, attentive expression in your source photo carries over best into the portraits.
A plain background is fineDo not worry about your own backdrop. The pack replaces it entirely.

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
