Full comparisonCompare Models (select 4)
Reve and Seedream 4.5 are both strong options in Influencer Studio for generating portrait imagery, but they shine in different parts of a portrait workflow. If your goal is a polished, creative headshot with a distinctive aesthetic (and occasional typography elements), Reve is often the more cost-efficient starting point.
Seedream 4.5, on the other hand, is built for flexibility—especially when you need to iterate on an existing portrait, refine details, or steer the look through image-to-image edits. Below is a portrait-focused comparison for close-up headshots and environmental portraits, including strengths, tradeoffs, and which model to pick for common portrait scenarios.
Portrait — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"Portrait photo of a 20s woman with shoulder-length wavy dark hair in a cozy oversized hoodie and leggings, holding an iced coffee and her phone at arm’s length like an Instagram story selfie, eyes looking just past the camera with a relaxed half-smile. Shot in a real neighborhood café by a window with soft natural morning light, shallow depth of field and warm bokeh from background patrons and hanging lights, 85mm lens feel focused on her face. Candid, slightly messy table details (laptop, pastry plate, earbuds) to keep it authentic and everyday."
