FLUX 3
Text to imageA surreal luxury fragrance campaign photographed like a real fashion editorial. A stylish male model with curly dark hair and a sharply tailored cream suit sits casually on the curved peel of an enormous freshly cut orange. His posture is relaxed and confident, one hand resting beside him, his gaze directed just past the camera. On a small travertine pedestal in the foreground stands an amber glass perfume bottle with a crisp minimalist label reading “SOL” and smaller text reading “EAU DE PARFUM”. The giant orange reveals translucent citrus pulp, tiny droplets, and richly textured peel. Soft botanical shadows fall across a pale terracotta studio background. Warm side lighting, elegant negative space, realistic skin texture, subtle film grain, sophisticated commercial art direction.

Z Image Turbo
Text to imageA translucent jellyfish made of flowing liquid fire and smoke, floating inside a cube of solid ice. The ice is melting, dripping water that turns into gold coins. Stark contrast between the warm orange fire and cold blue ice. Studio lighting, black background, 3D render style, caustics lighting effects, refraction, octane render, 8k.
