Is this a real photo taken at Byzantine Thessaloniki?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of Byzantine Thessaloniki. 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 Byzantine Thessaloniki, not a painting or a cartoon.

Is this right for professors and lecturers?

Yes. It suits professors, lecturers and researchers, for a faculty page, a department directory, a conference programme or a book jacket.

Why rose brick and terracotta?

They are the colours of the city's churches and walls. A coat and a knit in that range let the portrait sit inside the brick instead of against it.

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.

The Byzantine City register

Thessaloniki, the second city of Greece on its gulf, was the northern capital of Byzantium. Round Roman and Byzantine churches of thin rose-red brick stand among its apartment blocks, a white tower stands on the waterfront and the largest university in the country sits beside the old walls. The pack puts the professor in that city, in a rose-brick wool coat over a terracotta knit.

The colour is Byzantine brick: thin rose-red courses with pale mortar lines, which the wool and the knit repeat. She stands before a wall of the brick with its mortar lines soft behind her, in the brick arch of the rotunda with a hand on the ancient wall, and on a square's paving with the great brick drum rising among the apartment blocks and the gulf a pale line beyond. The light is the warm light of Macedonia, from one side.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of Byzantine Thessaloniki. 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 professor 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 thoughtful, open lookA professor's portrait should read as someone who listens before she answers. A calm, attentive expression in your source photo carries over best.
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
