A Civil Engineer Headshot in the Coldest City

The Coldest City register

Yakutsk is the coldest city on earth, its buildings raised on stilts above the permafrost, frost fog filling the streets at fifty below, every tree and wire furred white with rime, the sun a pale disc in a light that is white in every direction. The pack puts the permafrost engineer there. Every value is frost white, from pale fog to rime-furred grey, and a white fur-trimmed coat over a pale grey knit joins the street.

She stands before a wall of rime-furred branches, soft behind her, rests a gloved hand on a frosted concrete stilt, and at half-length on the frozen street with the rimed trees and stilted blocks dissolving into white fog behind her. The light is white fog light from one side, with a catchlight in each eye. The mood is a woman of foundations standing in the cold that tests them.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings, in the look of frost-white Yakutsk. 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 this pack

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 steady, level lookAn engineer's portrait should read as someone who builds things that last. A calm, level expression in your source photo carries over best.
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 Yakutsk?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of the frozen city. It is not a picture taken there.

Is it right for engineers?

Yes. It suits civil, structural and geotechnical engineers and construction staff, for a company page, a project bid, a conference programme or a professional profile.

Why so much white?

Frost fog and rime make one range from pale fog to furred grey. A white coat and a pale knit in that range let the portrait sit inside the street instead of against it.

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.
