On-Model Apparel Mockups Composited Into Real Backgrounds (Real Models preferred AI considered).

ABOUT US: We're a new veteran-owned athletic and lifestyle apparel brand launching this fall. We have print-ready designs and need on-brand product imagery for our Shopify store while we wait on physical samples. Our look is restrained and muted, high-contrast — NOT glossy or over-produced. WHAT WE NEED: Realistic images of REAL photographed models wearing OUR supplied t-shirt design, composited into REAL photographic environments (outdoor training settings, stadium, gym, urban, country, camping, natural light). The person and the shirt should read as a genuine photo — real model, our real design, believable real background. Can have others in photo including friends and family events. Could be AI is realistic enough. SPECIFICALLY: 1. On-model mockups — our design placed on 4 specific color t-shirts and logos worn by real photographed models matching our real print placement (front chest phrase, right arm and back yoke logo. Can use other colors but need the main 4 for sure and possibly a hat. 2. Real-background compositing — place those models into real photographic environments so it looks like an on-location shot, not a studio cutout. Natural lighting, believable shadows, matched color grade. 3. A few flat-lay / detail mockups of the same designs for product pages and 4 ghost model versions showing front, right arm and back. We will supply art and basic mockups. CRITICAL Elements - Need completed work withing 4 days of contact acceptance. ~ Prefer REAL photographed models. Have not seen fully AI-generated people that meet that visual. Authenticity matters to our brand — AI-generated humans must be indistinguishable from real people.. - You MUST use OUR supplied designs. Other designs must be called out for consideration. - Match garment color to reality (black, navy, heather gray, slate and gray shirts) and keep the design faithful to our real print size and placement. They are just words, a flag and a logo. - Backgrounds must look like real photographic environments, cleanly composited (matched lighting/shadow/grade) — not obvious cut-and-paste. - Deliver web-optimized files + editable layered source (PSD) so we can swap in real product photos later. TO APPLY: - Share a portfolio showing on-model apparel mockups AND real-background compositing (before/after composites a plus). - Tell us your workflow and tools (Placeit, Photoshop, model stock sources, etc.). - Confirm you use REAL model photography, or demonstrate that AI is indistinguishable. - Note if you can also do a real product/lifestyle photo shoot for us later (bonus, not required now). SCOPE: Start with ~4 designs (front on-model, back and right arm + flat-lay/detail + ghost mannequin) composited 4 designs into 2–3 real environments. Each can be multiple in a photo, like a joint outdoor activity. Depending on photo composition, probably between 18- 24 pictures. Ongoing work as we add products and, later, real photography. BUDGET: Please quote per-image and a package rate for the initial batch. We value clean, accurate, authentic-looking work over volume.
