The Scientist Headshot, at the Whiteboard
Nine photos of you in one setting
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.
A photoreal scientist headshot generated by AI, styled in white knit before a whiteboard wall of ghosted equations. The nine vary in crop, expression and light, so there are real choices, not nine identical files.

The register: the blank surface as potential
The Researcher at the Whiteboard pack borrows a research lab in January: a whiteboard wall covered and wiped a hundred times, white desks, white winter sky in the window, a scientist in white knit holding a marker. A high-key frame where the only marks are hers — the lab-page portrait of the person who had the idea.
Photographically the register is broad soft light from a window wall, knit's rib against the board's gloss, chest-up and tight-headshot framing throughout. The ghosted, wiped equations stay a faint grey cloud behind — the lab is felt, not toured.
The output is a photoreal researcher headshot — built for a lab's 'people' page, a grant application, or a LinkedIn profile.
How to photograph yourself for a scientist headshot
A winter professional headshot starts with a clear source photo.
- Even, soft lightFace a window with indirect daylight. A flat, well-lit selfie gives the clearest face to build from.
- Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level, not from below or above.
- Face fully clearNo hats, no sunglasses, hair off the face.
- A lit-up, mid-explanation expressionThis register favours bright, engaged focus over a stiff studio pose.
- Current clothing doesn't matterThe pack replaces it with the white knit entirely. A plain background just helps it focus on your face.
Frequently asked questions
- Will this actually look like a real photograph?
- Yes. The output is a photoreal researcher portrait in white knit — not an illustration.
- Can I use this for my lab's website?
- Yes — it's built for exactly that: a lab 'people' page, a grant application photo, or a LinkedIn profile.
- Is this pack built for men or women?
- The styling in this pack is built for women. Narcis has other academic and tech-adjacent packs styled for men.
- Can I use it for LinkedIn or a grant application?
- Yes — a tone on tone winter professional headshot works well on LinkedIn, a grant application, or a conference bio.
- 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
