Close-up headshots and environmental portraits — see how these models compare with real AI-generated outputs.
Full comparisonCompare Models (select 4)
Reve and Z-Image Turbo are both strong options in Influencer Studio for generating portraits, but they prioritize different outcomes. If your goal is a polished, art-directed look with careful styling and prompt fidelity, you’ll likely lean one way; if you need rapid iteration and flexible customization workflows, you’ll lean the other.
This portrait-focused comparison looks at close-up headshots and environmental portraits—covering facial detail, skin texture, lighting, composition, consistency across variations, and how quickly you can refine a look. Both models cost 8 credits per image, so the decision often comes down to output quality vs iteration speed and control.
Portrait — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"Portrait photo of a 20s woman with shoulder-length wavy dark hair, minimal makeup, wearing an oversized gray hoodie and leggings, holding her phone slightly above eye level for a casual selfie while glancing near the camera with a relaxed half-smile. She’s sitting by a window in a cozy neighborhood café with a latte and laptop on the table, natural morning light on her face, shallow depth of field with warm bokeh from café lights behind her. 85mm lens feel, authentic Instagram story vibe, candid and approachable (not editorial)."

Reve Strengths
- Stronger aesthetic finish for close-up headshots (more “studio-ready” look with less post-selection)
- Better at handling prompts that include typography or on-image text (useful for portrait posters, covers, and branded portrait layouts)
- More reliable creative styling for editorial portraits (cinematic lighting, fashion looks, color grading cues)
- Often produces more intentional composition in environmental portraits (subject placement and mood feel more curated)
Z-Image Turbo Strengths
- Ultra-fast generation for rapid portrait iteration (great for exploring poses, outfits, and lighting quickly)
- Image-to-image support for refining an existing headshot or transferring a look onto a new composition
- LoRA support for customization (helpful for consistent character/identity styling or a repeatable portrait aesthetic)
- Cost-effective workflow in practice because speed enables more prompt testing within the same session
- Solid “standard quality” portraits when you need volume (social batches, multiple concepts, quick approvals)
Verdict
Choose Reve when portrait quality and art direction matter most—especially for hero headshots, editorial-style close-ups, and portraits that must look polished without heavy iteration. It’s also the safer pick when your portrait concept includes readable text elements (e.g., magazine-style covers or campaign layouts).
Choose Z-Image Turbo when speed and controllability are the priority—particularly for producing many portrait options quickly, refining with image-to-image, or building a consistent portrait style using LoRA. For teams running high-volume portrait exploration, Turbo’s workflow advantages can outweigh the slightly more “standard” finish.
