Recraft V4.1 Flash Portrait Style Reference: Realistic and Artistic Dual Approaches
A portrait-style prompt comparison demo using Recraft V4.1 Flash's text-to-image pipeline. Under the same subject and same composition conditions, only the style description segment is swapped, to observe the model's performance differences between the realistic photography approach and the artistic approach (soft gradients, painterly light and color). This piece submits one realistic-oriented portrait: warm side lighting, shallow depth of field, neutral background, used to confirm the model's handling of skin tones, skin texture, and light-and-shadow layering. In base, the output size is fixed to vertical 3:4, and a small number of reference color values for skin tone and background are passed in via colors, demonstrating how the palette parameter influences the overall color tendency rather than precisely controlling pixel colors. Applicable scenarios: establishing baseline reference notation for portrait-type prompts; conducting style pre-trials for brand character assets, editorial illustrations, and conceptual mood images; also suitable as single-image sample validation before batch image generation via API. Vector and typography capabilities are outside the scope of this entry; portrait final outputs are still recommended for manual review before formal delivery.

Prompt
A realistic-style portrait of a young woman, nearing thirty, three-quarter profile angle, calm and neutral expression, gaze slightly averted from the camera. Soft warm side lighting from a large window, light transitions naturally into shadow across the far cheek, skin texture and fine hairs clearly visible, subtle catchlights in the eyes. Shallow depth of field, 85mm lens effect, soft warm beige and light cream background with a slight gradient, low-contrast magazine-style color grading, natural tones, no heavy retouching, no text, no watermark. Vertical 3:4 composition, subject framed from the chest up, breathing room left above the head.
