Full comparisonCompare Models (select 4)
Choosing the right model for professional headshots on Influencer Studio comes down to realism, facial consistency, wardrobe accuracy, and how much control you need over retouching and background changes. Flux 2 and Z-Image Turbo both support LoRA workflows and can generate corporate-ready portraits, but they differ in output detail, editing flexibility, and cost per image.
This comparison focuses on common corporate headshot requirements—clean skin texture (without over-smoothing), natural lighting, correct business attire, neutral backdrops, and consistent identity across a set of images for teams or personal branding.
Professional Headshot — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"A 25–32-year-old influencer with shoulder-length wavy dark brown hair, minimal makeup, wearing a smart-casual beige blazer over a plain white tee, holds their phone slightly above eye level for a quick selfie while looking near the camera with a relaxed, confident half-smile. They’re standing against a clean matte light-grey wall in a quiet corner of a coworking space, giving a “between meetings” LinkedIn-meets-IG Stories vibe, with a tote bag strap on one shoulder. Soft natural window light from the side, realistic skin texture, simple uncluttered background, professional headshot framing (chest-up) but still candid and approachable."

Verdict
Pick Flux 2 when headshot quality and polish are the priority—especially if you need sharper detail, more reliable retouching/editing workflows, or consistent brand styling across a set. It’s a better fit for premium corporate portraits, executive profiles, and marketing-facing headshots where small details matter.
Pick Z-Image Turbo when speed and cost per image matter most. It’s ideal for generating many options quickly (different expressions, crops, and backgrounds) and for scaling headshots across teams—then selecting the best results for final use.
