A Scientist Headshot at the Tower of Particles

The tower of particles register

South of Tel Aviv lies a science institute on a garden campus of lawns, palms and jacarandas around white laboratories, and at its heart a tall white concrete tower shaped like a flame or a sail, built to house a particle accelerator, white against a hard blue sky. The pack puts the scientist there, in white from blinding to pale shadow, in a white linen dress with a cream linen jacket.

She stands before the tower's curved white concrete with its smooth surface soft behind her, on the lawn under a palm with one hand on its trunk and the white tower soft behind, and on the pale path at half-length with the tower rising from the lawns and palms into a deep sky. The light is hard and clear Mediterranean light from one side, with the shadow side open and 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 Weizmann Institute in Israel. 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 scientist headshot

Better source photos make better portraits. An ordinary phone photo is enough, and a few habits sharpen the likeness.

1. Even, soft lightStand near a window with daylight on your face. Avoid overhead bulbs and phone flash, which flatten a face.
2. Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly. No shot from below, no stretched arm.
3. Face fully clearHair off the face, no sunglasses and no filters. A clear, front-facing phone photo is the best starting point.
4. A calm, direct lookA relaxed, attentive expression in your source photo carries over best into the portraits.
5. 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 Weizmann Institute in Israel?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of the Weizmann Institute in Israel. 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 Weizmann Institute in Israel, not a painting or a cartoon.

Is it right for scientists, physicists and research staff?

Yes. It suits scientists, physicists and research staff, for a profile page, a conference programme, a press kit or an author photo.

Why so much white?

The tower is smooth concrete in strong sun. White linen and a cream jacket sit in that brightness, with the palms and lawn as the only green.

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.
