Product Photography — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"A candid UGC-style photo: a woman in her mid‑20s with shoulder-length wavy brown hair, casual white tee and light-wash jeans, standing in a bright kitchen holding a sleek skincare serum bottle up near her face while looking slightly past the phone camera like she’s filming an Instagram Story. The product is also shown as a crisp “hero” shot on a clean off-white background with dramatic studio lighting, sharp shadows, and a high-end commercial feel (Apple/cosmetics launch style). Natural window light for the lifestyle moment, phone-camera perspective, authentic and unpolished."

Verdict
If you’re producing flagship product visuals—hero shots, premium flat lays, or unboxing frames meant to look like professional studio photography—Flux Ultra 1.1 is typically the better fit thanks to its higher realism and detail. It costs more per image (16 credits), but it can reduce the number of rerolls needed when you need a “final” look.
If your workflow values speed, iteration, and budget—especially for generating many options, testing compositions, or applying consistent brand styling through LoRA—Z-Image Turbo is the practical choice at 8 credits per image. Many teams use it for exploration and drafts, then switch to Flux Ultra 1.1 for the final, highest-polish selects.
