The Moscow gallery of Russian art register
Across the river in a quiet quarter of Moscow, the gallery of Russian art keeps its icons and great nineteenth-century canvases behind a fairy-tale front of red brick with white stone trim, a steep gabled roof and a carved frieze. The pack dresses the curator in that brick: a brick-red wool coat over a cream silk blouse, with the white stone reading as the light.
She stands before the red-brick wall with a white stone carving soft behind her shoulder, rests a hand on the white stone doorframe of the gallery step with the body turned toward the lens, and stands at half-length on the pavement across the lane with the steep gable rising behind her. The light is soft grey Moscow daylight from the courtyard, and the frieze lettering stays unreadable.
What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of the Moscow gallery of Russian art. 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 curator 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 warm, attentive expressionA warm, 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.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this a real photo taken at the Moscow gallery of Russian art?
- No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of the Moscow gallery of Russian art. 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 Moscow gallery of Russian art, not a painting or a cartoon.
- Who is the curator headshot pack for?
- It suits curators, gallery directors, art historians, conservators and arts administrators, for a museum staff page, an exhibition catalogue or a speaker bio.
- Why brick red and white?
- The facade is red brick with white stone trim, the white standing in as its light. A brick-red coat over cream silk keeps the portrait inside that pair.
- 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.

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
