there is a huge difference between a raw photo (digital or analog) and a stylized photo (with filters) of a person (a portrait). If you work with photography your eye is trained on raw images and you notice when something is even slightly artificial. FLUX at it's current stage struggles a lot with creating raw portraits. With elaborate prompt you can get better results, but currently it is a struggle, whereas accordingly-trained stable diffusion 1.5 or XL custom models do this with ease. It would be great if one day there will be a more flexible FLUX version. That said, if you are looking to create studio-like portraits with retouched skin and filter effect, FLUX is very good. Just not for natural portraits, same as Midjourney btw.
