LinkedIn Professional Photo — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"A candid phone-camera selfie of a 28–35-year-old professional influencer with shoulder-length dark hair neatly styled, light natural makeup, wearing business-casual attire (navy blazer over a simple knit top) while sitting at a small café table with a laptop and coffee. They’re looking slightly toward the camera with an approachable confident smile mid-scroll, like an Instagram story check-in, soft window daylight and realistic indoor café background blur. Natural, unpolished LinkedIn-appropriate vibe—clean, well-groomed, everyday moment rather than a formal studio shoot."

- Strong style transfer tools to move from casual photos to business-appropriate portrait aesthetics while keeping a natural feel
- Face-swap support for targeted identity consistency when updating wardrobe/background (use carefully for authenticity)
Z-Image Turbo Strengths
- Ultra-fast generation for rapid iteration on poses, crops, and backgrounds until the image looks LinkedIn-appropriate
- Lowest per-image cost (8 credits) for budget-friendly experimentation and A/B testing multiple options

Verdict
Choose Flux 2 when your priority is a premium LinkedIn portrait: sharper detail, more refined edits, and stronger control for getting “real photo” polish—especially if you need high-resolution output or plan to standardize a repeatable brand look with LoRA.
Choose Z-Image Turbo when speed and cost matter most. It’s a strong option for quickly generating multiple business headshot variations (different backdrops, outfits, and crops) and narrowing down a final direction before committing to higher-detail finishing.
