I’m looking for an experienced photo editor to create realistic apparel mockups using my existing model photos and finished shirt designs.

I will provide the original high-quality photos along with the design files. Your job is to place the supplied designs onto the shirts so they look like they were actually printed on the garment.

What I Need:

Place each supplied design onto the shirt in the correct position.

Some designs are small left-chest/pocket designs, while others are larger full-chest designs.

Adjust the size, placement, angle, and perspective according to the model’s body position and the shirt.

Make the design naturally follow the shirt’s existing contours, folds, and perspective.

Subtly integrate the design with the fabric, shadows, and lighting so it looks realistically printed rather than pasted on.

Designs must remain sharp, clear, and accurately coloured.

Do not excessively fade, blur, or soften designs to create fabric realism.

Preserve all original artwork exactly, including text, colours, proportions, linework, and small details.

Do not recreate, redraw, reinterpret, or modify my designs.

Image Quality Is Extremely Important:

The original photos I provide are high quality, and the completed photos must maintain that quality.

Please do not downscale, heavily compress, blur, pixelate, or otherwise reduce the quality of the original photographs during editing or export.

The shirt designs must also remain sharp and clearly readable, including small text and fine details.

I will not approve final images that are blurry, pixelated, noticeably compressed, or lower quality than the original photos.

Final images should be exported at the same pixel dimensions/resolution as the originals whenever possible and using high-quality export settings.

Preserve the Original Photos:

Please do not retouch, regenerate, or unnecessarily alter other parts of the photograph.

The model’s face, skin, hair, body, expression, pose, hands, wheelchair, background, lighting, and other elements of the original photo should remain unchanged.

The purpose of this project is to realistically add the supplied designs to the shirts — not to recreate or re-edit the entire photograph.

Project Size & Pricing:

This project includes 22 photos total.

Please submit your bid for the actual total amount you would like to be paid to complete all 22 photos.

Do not submit an artificially low or placeholder bid simply to make your proposal appear more competitive. I will be comparing applicants based on the price submitted in their proposal, their portfolio, and the quality of their work.

If you want a certain amount to complete all 22 photos, please enter that amount in your original bid.

I would like to begin with one paid test image before proceeding with the remaining photos. If the test is successful, we can continue with the rest of the batch at the rate agreed upon in your proposal.

Potential Ongoing Work:

If I am happy with the quality and consistency of the results, I will have additional photos requiring the same type of editing over the next few months, so there is potential for ongoing work.

Communication:

All communication must remain through Upwork.

Please do not contact me through email, social media, my business website, or any other method outside of Freelancer

When Applying:

Please include examples of realistic apparel mockups, shirt design placement, or clothing compositing you have completed.

I’m specifically looking for someone who can achieve realistic fabric integration without sacrificing the sharpness of the artwork or the quality of the original photograph.
