The Soapstone Cathedral register
Trondheim is the old royal city of Norway, on its fjord and home to the country's university of technology. Its Gothic cathedral is built of grey-green soapstone, soft enough to carve like wood, with a west front crowded with figures. The pack dresses the professor in that stone: a grey-green wool overcoat over a sage knit, soft and matte.
He stands before a carved soapstone wall with the figures soft and unreadable behind him, rests one hand on a soapstone column in the cloister with the body turned toward the lens, and stands on the gravel path at half-length with the west front and spires rising across the lawn. The light is soft northern light with a cool cast.
What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of Nidaros Cathedral. 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 calm, direct lookA professional portrait reads best with a level, attentive expression. A relaxed face in your source photo carries over best.
- 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 Nidaros Cathedral?
- No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of Nidaros Cathedral. 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 Nidaros Cathedral, not a painting or a cartoon.
- Who is this professor headshot pack for?
- It suits professors, lecturers, researchers and university staff, for a staff page, a conference programme, a profile or an author photo.
- Why this colour?
- The cathedral is one grey-green stone from wall to spire. A grey-green overcoat over a sage knit lets the portrait sit in the stone instead of against it.
- Is this pack for men or for women?
- 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.

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
