Working Girl Photoshoot at Dawn

The Working Girl photoshoot register

The Staten Island ferry at dawn: an orange deck, the harbour grey-blue, the towers ahead, a navy wool skirt suit with shoulders, a cream blouse and short hair. The pack photographs the secretary who became the boss, today.

Head and shoulders at the ferry rail with the harbour soft behind, chest-up on the deck with the towers in the distance, and half-length at the terminal where the line of the suit is read. The light is the low light of dawn, and the ferry's orange appears once.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of a 1988 ferry commute. The place and the wardrobe are borrowed as a setting; the photos are portraits of you, not stills from the film and not pictures taken there.

How to photograph yourself for a Working Girl photoshoot

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 expressionA relaxed, level look in your source photo carries over best into the finished 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 in this setting?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of a 1988 ferry commute. 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 a 1988 ferry commute, not a painting or a cartoon.

Are these stills from the film or series?

No. They are new photographs of you, in a setting and wardrobe borrowed from that world.

Why navy and orange?

Navy wool, silk, steel and water make one cool range, and the ferry's orange is held low as its single warm note.

Who is this pack for?

The wardrobe is cut for women, so this pack reads that way.

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.
