When the goal is photorealism—images that read as genuine camera captures—small differences in lighting behavior, surface detail, and artifact control matter. Nano Banana Pro and Seedream 4.5 both produce high-quality outputs in Influencer Studio, but they excel in different parts of a hyperrealistic workflow.

This comparison focuses on how each model handles lifelike skin and materials, natural depth-of-field, believable shadows, and the “no-AI-tells” standard (clean edges, consistent geometry, and minimal hallucinated details). We’ll also factor in practical considerations like text accuracy, editing flexibility, resolution, and credit efficiency.

Photorealistic — Side-by-Side Results

Prompt

"Hyperrealistic photorealistic selfie-style photo of a 22–28-year-old woman with shoulder-length wavy dark brown hair, minimal makeup and a few natural skin blemishes, wearing an oversized gray hoodie and black leggings, holding an iced latte and looking slightly past the phone camera with a relaxed half-smile. Candid “morning café check-in” moment at a small neighborhood coffee shop by a window with soft natural daylight, background includes a laptop, pastry plate, and subtle street reflection in the glass. Shot on a phone camera feel with true-to-life lighting physics, shallow depth of field, crisp skin texture and realistic grain—authentic Instagram story vibe, not editorial."

Verdict
