Pet Photography — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"Casual phone-camera photo at a sunny neighborhood park: a 20s woman with shoulder-length wavy brown hair in a light hoodie and bike shorts crouches at eye level beside her fluffy golden retriever, glancing toward the camera while holding a leash and a half-tossed tennis ball. Sharp focus on the dog’s eyes with a cute tongue-out expression, warm late-afternoon natural light, slight handheld candid feel like an Instagram story. Background shows soft greenery and a blurred walking path for a real pet-influencer vibe."

Verdict
If your priority is premium, photoreal pet portraits—the kind where fur strands, catchlights, and subtle expression sell the image—Flux Ultra 1.1 is typically the better pick, albeit at a higher cost (16 credits/image).
If you need speed, volume, and controllability for pet lifestyle campaigns (multiple angles, props, backgrounds, seasonal themes), Z-Image Turbo is a strong value at 8 credits/image—especially when LoRA and image-to-image help you stay consistent across a series.
