    What you can hire me for

    Start with a focused pilot or scope a larger project. Every price is quoted before we start.

    1. 01

      Product Visual Pilot

      Two brand-ready photos of one product in new scenes, or four of your existing AI shots of one product fixed, with one creative direction and one round of changes. For a pack, the method is place, relight, lock: your own pack photo goes in, the AI relights the scene, and your original label goes back on top.

      • Your real pack, not an AI redraw: your own pack photo goes into the scene, and its printing is put back from it
      • Every word checked against your pack photo, and the barcode test-scanned where it ends up about 200 px wide or more
      • Light, shadow and reflections that match the scene
      • Skin fixed with the Un-Plastic method if a person is in the shot
      • The brief written with you, so the direction is agreed before any work starts
      • All tool costs included

      Packs: tested on four packs made up for the test (a matte carton, a black can, a clear glass bottle and a pouch at an angle): 15 of 15 relights kept the pack where it was placed, and the test barcode scanned in 5 of 5 locked shots. Portraits: in Nano Banana Pro at 4K, 10 of 10 generated test portraits kept the face, the smile and the gaze.

      Timing
      Planning estimate: one week. Final dates agreed with the brief.
      Price
      Quoted before we start. Ask me and I'll tell you, or we can go through it on a 30-minute call.
    2. 02

      Brand Characters & Short-Form Videos

      Short-form brand videos, including a recurring AI character for your brand, so you can keep posting without a shoot. I cast the character once and build every clip from the same references, to keep the same face and look from clip to clip; my own duo, Rocky & Hardev, has reels with 81k and 49k likes. Direction, formats and revisions are agreed before production.

      Timing
      Planning estimate: two weeks. Final dates depend on the agreed scope.
      Price
      Quoted before we start. Ask me and I'll tell you, or we can go through it on a 30-minute call.
    3. 03

      Ongoing Campaign Visuals & Brand Videos

      The next step after a Pilot or a first video: an agreed number of product photos and brand videos in each four-week cycle, kept to the look you approved.

      Timing
      Planned in four-week cycles, with deliverables agreed for each cycle.
      Price
      Quoted before we start. Ask me and I'll tell you, or we can go through it on a 30-minute call.

      Un-Plastic

      Turn waxy AI skin into real skin, in the photo you already made, without changing the face.

      Paste-in edit blocks for Nano Banana Pro and GPT Image edit mode, plus a tested upscale step. Drop in the waxy render, paste one block, generate, upscale. Same face, same light. Only the skin, eyes and highlights change. Strongest in Nano Banana Pro; gentler in GPT Image (ChatGPT), where very smooth skin in small images may barely change.

      For
      Product-stills freelancers and small brands whose last delivery came back with “can you make it less AI?”
      Format
      A 12-page PDF guide and a plain text file

      Inside

      • Block A for Nano Banana Pro edit mode: brings back pores, sheen and real eyes without redrawing the face
      • Block B for GPT Image and ChatGPT edit mode: a gentler fix, for when the face must not move at all
      • Tested Magnific Precision V2 settings, because in testing the upscale on its own added no pores: one set for real photos, one for clean ads
      • Two helper lines, for a photo that is still waxy or a face that drifts
      • A 12-page PDF guide with tested before-and-after pairs, so you know what a good result looks like
      • A plain text file, so the blocks paste in clean

      Keep the Pack

      Your real pack in a new AI scene, with every word, the artwork and the barcode put back from your own pack shot.

      A five-step method for AI product photos. Paste your real pack shot into a scene, relight it with one tested GPT Image prompt, then put your original printing back with Label Lock, a free browser tool. Real light and shadow from the AI; exact words, artwork and barcode from your own pack. In tests on one carton, its barcode scanned in all 5 finished shots, each about 200 px wide or more; shrunk to 154 px, it didn’t.

      For
      Freelancers, small brands and junior agency people who need lifestyle shots from one white-background pack photo, and can’t ship a redrawn label
      Format
      An 18-page PDF guide, a plain text file and the free Label Lock tool

      Inside

      • The relight block for GPT Image edit mode, so the light and shadow match the scene and the pack stays where you put it, with lines for card, metal, glass and pouches
      • A fill-in scene prompt and four tested scenes, so the scene leaves an empty spot for your pack
      • A two-pack version, for one relight with more than one product in the shot
      • Label Lock, a free browser tool that puts back the words, artwork and barcode the AI redraws
      • Placement rules, including how big the barcode must be to still scan
      • An 18-page PDF guide with tested before-and-after results, so you can check yours against them
      • A plain text file for clean copy-paste

      One Line to Scene

      One typed line in. The full scene prompt for your character out.

      A scene builder for a recurring AI character on Seedance 2.5 inside FLORA. Type “Hardev argues with a traffic cop on Mall Road” and get the whole prompt back: identity lock, timestamped shots, location, look and bans. Cast once; this writes every clip after that.

      For
      Creators who run a recurring AI character on Seedance 2.5 in FLORA and rewrite the whole scene prompt for every clip
      Format
      A Claude skill, plus a paste-in version for ChatGPT, Gemini or a Claude Project if you would rather not install one (tested in Claude so far)

      Inside

      • The Claude skill, with a one-time setup for your character
      • A paste-in version for a ChatGPT Project, a Gemini Gem or a Claude Project
      • The seven-part scene skeleton from the Rocky & Hardev archive
      • Tested scenes, each with its prompt and its render (the prompts are tested; the renders are next)

    The engineering side

    Production workflows, automation and web builds.

    • YouTube production

      Close to 200 videos for six YouTube channels, made with my own workflows for research, scripting, Kokoro voice-overs, Remotion edits and VidIQ-informed publishing.

    • Automation

      An n8n pipeline for a client who publishes AI-generated stories and episodes on YouTube. It generated the clips and saved them to Google Drive; the client edited them into the movie.

    • Web apps

      Small web apps and sites built with tools like Lovable, Base44 and Codex. A few are in More experiments and builds.
