Full comparisonCompare Models (select 4)
For product photography on Influencer Studio, consistency and realism matter more than dramatic artistry. Whether you’re creating clean product-only hero shots, top-down flat lays, or unboxing sequences, the best model is the one that can hold brand details steady—logos, materials, colors, and lighting—across multiple images.
Flux Ultra 1.1 and Seedream 4.5 are both premium options priced at 16 credits per image, but they’re optimized for slightly different workflows. Flux Ultra 1.1 leans into ultra-high detail and photorealistic rendering, while Seedream 4.5 stands out when you need image-to-image editing to iterate on an existing product shot or refine a composition.
Product Photography — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"A candid iPhone selfie-style shot of a 20s woman with shoulder-length wavy brown hair in a casual oversized hoodie and leggings, holding a sleek skincare serum bottle up near her face while looking slightly past the camera, like a quick TikTok “morning routine” clip. She’s standing in a real bathroom with a slightly messy counter and foggy mirror, natural window light mixing with soft indoor light, but the product is rendered like high-end studio product photography: isolated-looking clarity, dramatic clean lighting on the bottle, crisp shadow definition, premium commercial feel. Keep it authentic and unposed, approachable expression, subtle motion blur in the background while the product is tack-sharp."

Flux Ultra 1.1 Strengths
- Exceptional micro-detail for materials (glass, metal, fabric, plastic) in product-only hero shots
- Strong photorealistic lighting and shadow rendering for studio-style e-commerce looks
- Crisp textures and edges that help products read clearly at high resolution
- Great for premium “catalog” aesthetics where realism and polish are the priority
Seedream 4.5 Strengths
- Image-to-image editing for fast iteration (swap backgrounds, adjust framing, refine props) while keeping the product direction consistent
- Versatile style control for different product photography looks (clean studio, lifestyle-leaning flat lay, bold color backdrops)
- High-resolution output suitable for marketplaces, PDPs, and campaign variations
- Efficient for unboxing sequences when you want to evolve a scene across steps using edits rather than fully re-generating
Verdict
If your priority is top-tier photorealism and ultra-fine detail for product-only hero shots—especially where materials and lighting realism sell the product—Flux Ultra 1.1 is the stronger pick.
If your workflow depends on editing and controlled iteration (e.g., refining an existing shot, generating consistent unboxing steps, or making quick composition changes without starting over), Seedream 4.5 is typically the more practical choice. Since both cost 16 credits per image, the best value comes from choosing the model that reduces rework for your specific product pipeline.
