The Twelve Colleges of St Petersburg register
On its island across from the palaces, the university of St Petersburg is a single baroque building four hundred metres long, twelve identical sections painted Petrine red with white pilasters, and a corridor lined with bookcases running its whole length. The pack takes that pair at matched strength with red the larger share: a deep red wool overcoat over a white shirt, and no third colour.
He stands before a red wall with a white pilaster soft behind him, rests a hand on the edge of a white bookcase in the long corridor as it recedes behind him, and stands at half-length on the granite embankment with the red and white facade running away along the island and the grey Neva beside it. The light is soft northern light off the river, with a catchlight in each eye.
What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of the Twelve Colleges of St Petersburg. 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, composed expressionA thoughtful, composed 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 Twelve Colleges of St Petersburg?
- No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of the Twelve Colleges of St Petersburg. 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 Twelve Colleges of St Petersburg, not a painting or a cartoon.
- Who is the professor headshot pack for?
- It suits professors, lecturers, deans and postdocs, for a faculty page, a conference programme, a book jacket or a university profile.
- Why red and white only?
- The building is two colours repeated twelve times. A red coat over a white shirt takes the same pair, red leading, so the portrait reads as part of the facade.
- 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.

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
