av-home-preview · internal · Higgsfield run pack v2
Full reshoot of the photo set after v1 was rejected on realism. Every prompt now follows the photo-director anatomy: ordinary daylight described like a person would say it, one shared beat between two people (or one honest solo task), the brand palette carried by wardrobe and props instead of a color grade, and no phone anywhere in any frame. The product story stays in the page's own objects; the photo's only job is to be a believable human.
The director's answer to "what does an answered call look like": the pro arriving at the door, the job about to start. This is the outcome the product sells, photographed. Two separate generations per the hero rule, never one file cropped.

Candid photograph on the front porch of an American suburban home, camera at eye level a few steps back on the walkway. A homeowner in her forties in a soft blue shirt holds the storm door open, mid-sentence, gesturing back toward the hallway behind her, while a plumber in his thirties in a plain navy work shirt and tan work pants stands on the step below listening, canvas tool bag in one hand, head tilted slightly toward her. One ordinary shared moment, the arrival, the job about to start. Hard morning sun from camera left rakes across the porch, throwing their long crisp shadows across the boards and up the cream siding; the open doorway behind her falls into soft shade. Real skin texture with pores and flyaway hairs, slight motion softness, gentle film grain, natural color, imperfect framing, no studio styling, nobody looking at camera. The right third of the frame is sunlit siding, clean and empty, reserved for a headline. Do NOT include: any phone anywhere in frame, readable logos, brand marks, or company lettering on clothing, tools, or vehicles, dust, stains, peeling paint, clutter, watermark text. No extra fingers, no warped hands, all shadows falling the same direction, every person fully clothed.

Candid photograph on the front porch of an American suburban home, vertical frame, camera at eye level on the walkway. A homeowner in her forties in a soft blue shirt holds the storm door open, mid-sentence, while a plumber in his thirties in a plain navy work shirt stands on the step below listening, canvas tool bag in one hand, the two of them close in frame. One ordinary shared moment, the arrival. Hard morning sun from camera left rakes across the porch, throwing their long crisp shadows up the cream siding. Real skin texture with pores and flyaway hairs, slight motion softness, gentle film grain, natural color, imperfect framing, no studio styling, nobody looking at camera. The action fills the upper two thirds; the bottom third is the shaded walkway, clean and empty, reserved for a headline. Do NOT include: any phone anywhere in frame, readable logos, brand marks, or company lettering, dust, stains, peeling paint, clutter, watermark text. No extra fingers, no warped hands, all shadows falling the same direction, every person fully clothed.
Two people, one beat, connected by the same object: the row of shingles going down. Nobody performs; the work is the moment.
Candid photograph on a pitched shingle roof, camera at roof height from a ladder at the eave, looking along the slope. Two roofers work one row together: a man in his forties in a washed grey t-shirt fastens the shingle under his hand with a nail gun while a younger man in a plain tan shirt slides the next shingle into place against his waiting palm, the fresh row connecting them, both looking down at the work. Low morning sun from camera right rakes across the roof, throwing their long crisp shadows up the slope; above the ridge the sky is clean and pale. Real skin texture with pores and flyaway hairs, slight motion softness, gentle film grain, natural color, imperfect framing, no studio styling, nobody looking at camera. Do NOT include: any phone anywhere in frame, readable logos, brand marks, or company lettering, dust, stains, damaged shingles, clutter, watermark text. No extra fingers, no warped hands, all shadows falling the same direction, every person fully clothed.
Levers: swap to a tree crew feeding a chipper, same one-object beat · late-day sun from the left for a warmer band.
The trust moment mid-job: tech explains, homeowner listens. Overcast light on purpose, so the set does not read as six copies of the same sunny day.
Candid photograph in a suburban backyard beside the outdoor AC unit, camera at chest height a step away. An HVAC technician in his thirties in a plain charcoal work shirt crouches at the open condenser, one hand steadying the panel he has just removed, pointing into the unit with the other, mid-sentence, while the homeowner, a man in his fifties in a plain olive t-shirt, leans in beside him with hands on his knees, listening with a small nod. One shared moment, the explanation. Bright overcast daylight, soft even shadows, colors saturated and true, the lawn and wooden fence softly lit behind them. Real skin texture with pores and flyaway hairs, slight motion softness, gentle film grain, natural color, imperfect framing, no studio styling, nobody looking at camera. Do NOT include: any phone anywhere in frame, readable logos, brand marks, or company lettering, dust, stains, rust, damaged equipment, clutter, watermark text. No extra fingers, no warped hands, every person fully clothed.
The v1 hero scene reshot the right way: ordinary kitchen daylight, eye level with the work, hands mid-turn. No phone on the floor, no amber, no floor-level wide-angle theater.
Candid photograph in a bright family kitchen, camera low, a few feet back at floor level, eye level with the work. A plumber in his forties lies on his back with his head and shoulders inside the open sink cabinet, both hands up on the trap mid-turn with a wrench, knees bent, boots planted on the tile, his open canvas tool bag beside him with a few tools laid out on a folded drop cloth. Soft bright daylight from the window over the sink fills the room, falling white across the tile, the inside of the cabinet in honest shadow around his hands. Real skin texture with pores and flyaway hairs, slight motion softness, gentle film grain, natural color, imperfect framing, no studio styling, nobody looking at camera. Do NOT include: any phone anywhere in frame, readable logos, brand marks, or company lettering, dust, stains, grime, water damage, clutter, watermark text. No extra fingers, no warped hands, every person fully clothed.
Candid photograph in a tidy residential garage, camera at shoulder height, slightly behind and to the side. An electrician in her thirties, hair tied back, in a plain charcoal work shirt, stands at the open breaker panel reading the voltage tester in her raised hand, her other hand holding the panel door open, weight settled on one hip, absorbed in the reading. Bright daylight from the wide-open garage door behind camera pours in, soft and even on her and the wall, her soft shadow falling away toward the workbench. Real skin texture with pores and flyaway hairs, slight motion softness, gentle film grain, natural color, imperfect framing, no studio styling, nobody looking at camera. Do NOT include: any phone anywhere in frame, readable logos, brand marks, or company lettering, dust, stains, exposed hazardous wiring, clutter, watermark text. No extra fingers, no warped hands, every person fully clothed.
End of the day, the paper work order on the clipboard. The real-world echo of the site's own work-order ticket, without ever showing the product.
Candid photograph at the open rear doors of a plain white work van parked at a suburban curb, camera at eye level a step away. A tradesman in his fifties in a plain navy shirt stands at the bumper filling in a paper work order on a metal clipboard resting on the van floor, pen in hand, looking down at the page, his canvas tool bag and an open bin of brass fittings beside it. Warm low evening sun from camera left, long soft shadows stretching down the street, the van's white side glowing in the last light. Real skin texture with pores and flyaway hairs, slight motion softness, gentle film grain, natural color, imperfect framing, no studio styling, nobody looking at camera. Do NOT include: any phone anywhere in frame, readable logos, brand marks, or company lettering on the van or clothing, dust, stains, dents, rust, clutter, watermark text. No extra fingers, no warped hands, every person fully clothed.
