Full comparisonCompare Models (select 4)
Choosing the right image model for food photography comes down to two things: how appetizing the final dish looks (lighting, texture, plating) and how efficiently you can iterate (variations, edits, and brand consistency). In Influencer Studio, Reve and Seedream 4.5 both handle restaurant, cooking, and food styling content well, but they shine in different parts of the workflow.
Reve leans into polished aesthetics and reliable text rendering—useful for menu callouts, chef specials, and on-image labels. Seedream 4.5 is built for versatility and editing, making it a strong fit when you need to refine an existing shot, adjust styling, or produce multiple variations at high quality.
Food Photography — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"A candid influencer-style food photo: a woman in her mid-20s with shoulder-length wavy brown hair, wearing an oversized oatmeal sweater, leaning over a small kitchen island and glancing near the phone camera as if filming a quick “lunch reveal” Story. In front of her is a beautifully plated avocado toast with a jammy egg, chili flakes, microgreens, and lemon wedges on a ceramic plate, styled with a wrinkled linen napkin, gold fork, scattered herbs, and a matcha latte—shot at a dramatic 45-degree angle in soft window light with casual phone-camera realism. Background feels lived-in (cutting board, salt bowl, a few crumbs), appetizing colors, authentic UGC vibe."

Seedream 4.5 Strengths
- Powerful image-to-image editing for refining plates, backgrounds, props, and composition without starting over
- High-quality output suitable for crisp restaurant marketing assets and close-up texture detail

Verdict
If your priority is generating eye-catching food imagery fast—especially with readable on-image text for specials, pricing callouts, or campaign headlines—Reve is the more efficient choice and costs half as much per image (8 credits).
If you already have a strong base image (or want a tight, iterative styling workflow) and need reliable editing to dial in plating, ingredients, or scene details, Seedream 4.5 is worth the higher per-image cost (16 credits) thanks to its flexible image-to-image capabilities and consistently high-quality output.
