Sunburst Portraits: Photorealism vs. Artistic Prompt Comparison

A side-by-side style comparison for portraits using the Sunburst variant of gpt-image-2.5. Sunburst trades longer single-request time for finer detail reproduction, making it suited to portrait work that needs repeated refinement; this piece first constrains the overall tone with an environment reference image, then uses prompts and size presets to control output style and aspect ratio. A 3:2 horizontal composition is chosen so facial lighting, skin texture, and background depth can be shown side by side in one view, and so developers can use it as a reference base image for subject consistency in image-editing workflows. Suitable for prototype validation of brand people visuals, editorial portraits, and social media imagery.
