Full comparisonCompare Models (select 4)
Creating standout pet photography in Influencer Studio often comes down to two needs: nailing the exact look of a dog or cat (breed traits, fur texture, eye detail) and producing lifestyle scenes that feel natural (lighting, poses, props, and backgrounds). GPT-Image 1.5 and Seedream 4.5 both handle pet-focused text-to-image well, but they shine in different parts of the workflow.
GPT-Image 1.5 is built for high-fidelity generation with strong prompt adherence—useful when you want a very specific pet portrait setup or a detailed lifestyle scene described in text. Seedream 4.5 adds robust image-to-image editing, making it a strong choice when you’re iterating on an existing pet photo or refining a generated image (composition tweaks, style shifts, background changes) while keeping the pet’s look consistent.
Pet Photography — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"Casual phone-camera selfie at a sunny neighborhood park: a 20s woman with shoulder-length wavy brown hair in a cozy oversized hoodie and biker shorts crouches on the grass, looking near the camera with a candid half-smile while holding her small golden retriever puppy close. Eye-level pet portrait vibe with sharp focus on the puppy’s eyes, warm late-afternoon natural light, slight handheld blur in the background (trees, leash, picnic blanket) like an Instagram story clip. Authentic, everyday moment—no glam makeup, just real-life park hangout energy."
