Portrait — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"Portrait photo of a 20s woman with shoulder-length wavy dark hair in a casual oversized hoodie and leggings, holding an iced coffee and her phone at arm’s length, glancing near the camera with a relaxed half-smile like she’s filming an Instagram story. She’s sitting by a window in a cozy neighborhood café with warm morning natural light on her face, shallow depth of field and soft bokeh of tables and street traffic behind her, 85mm lens feel. Candid, approachable vibe—slightly messy hair, minimal makeup, mid-sentence expression like a real UGC post."

GPT-Image 1.5 Strengths
- Strong prompt adherence for precise portrait direction (pose, lens look, lighting, wardrobe, mood)
- High-fidelity facial detail that holds up in close-up headshots (skin texture, hair, accessories)
- Versatile across portrait styles—from clean studio headshots to complex environmental portraits
- Scales output quality by credit tier (8/16/32), useful when you need quick drafts vs premium finals
Reve Strengths
- Strong aesthetic polish for editorial-style portraits with cohesive color and mood
- Reliable text rendering inside the image (signage, posters, product labels in environmental portraits)
- Great for creative portrait concepts where stylization and art direction matter more than strict realism
- Simple per-image pricing (8 credits) that’s easy to budget for consistent portrait iterations
Verdict
If your portrait workflow depends on precise prompt control and high-fidelity close-ups—especially when facial detail, accessories, and lighting specificity must match your brief—GPT-Image 1.5 is the safer pick. Its tiered credit options also let you draft cheaply and reserve higher spend for final hero images.
If you’re prioritizing a strong “finished” aesthetic and you frequently need readable text elements inside environmental portraits (street signs, magazine covers, packaging), Reve is a strong choice with straightforward per-image pricing.
