How your model is created from your photos
Every pack on Narcis, made with your face
Nine photographs of you in one setting: one pack of the Narcis catalogue.
Nine photographs of you, styled as a guest at Nicolas Fouquet's 1661 fête at Vaux-le-Vicomte — a gold brocade coat, a lace cravat, ribbon loops at the knee — set on the garden steps, in Le Brun's painted salon, and at the canal under fireworks, in portrait format. The nine vary in crop, expression and light, so there are real choices, not nine identical files.

The Vaux-le-Vicomte register
This pack draws on Fouquet's fête for the king at Vaux — Le Nôtre's parterres, Le Brun's painted rooms, fireworks over the canal, and the arrest that followed within weeks. A knee-length coat of gold brocade over a lace-fronted shirt, wide petticoat breeches with ribbon loops, a lace cravat, a wide hat with a plume, a light dress sword, and long natural hair.
Three moments carry it: the garden steps at golden evening with the parterres running to the canal, the painted salon under Le Brun's ceiling with a crystal glass raised, and the canal's edge at night as fireworks open above the water. The output is photoreal — a real french château fête photoshoot of you at the most beautiful and most dangerous party of the reign, not a painting or an illustration.
How to photograph yourself for a Vaux-le-Vicomte photoshoot
Better source photos make better portraits.
- Even, soft lightStand near a window with indirect daylight on your face. Avoid overhead bulbs and direct sun.
- Front or three-quarter angleEye level, facing forward or turned slightly. No selfie-stick uplook.
- Face fully clearHair off the forehead, no sunglasses. The cravat and the hat are the model's job; your face is yours.
- Genuine pleasure in the faceThis register wants a guest's real delight, rising into wonder — not a stiff studio smile.
- Plain background is fineThe garden steps, the painted salon, and the canal at night replace whatever's behind you — a plain wall just helps the model read your face.
Frequently asked questions
- Will it actually look like a real photograph, or a painting?
- Photoreal. The output is a real-looking photograph of you in the gold brocade coat and the lace cravat — set on garden steps, in a painted salon, and beside fireworks over a canal. Not a painting, not a cartoon.
- Which scenes does the pack cover?
- Three that trace the fête's own night: the garden at golden hour, the painted salon at its peak, and the canal under fireworks. This is a full french château fête photoshoot, nine portraits, three per scene.
- Why this one château instead of Versailles?
- Because Vaux is the château that made Versailles inevitable — a gold brocade coat photoshoot on the exact night Louis XIV decided he needed a garden and a palace bigger than any subject's. The history is the whole point.
- Does this pack work for women?
- This pack renders as a male sitter by default, matching the courtier's dress of the fête.
- Can I use it commercially?
- It's for personal use — profile pictures, prints, gifts — not licensed stock photography for resale or ad campaigns.
- 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
