Convincing Photo Edit - Object Addition

I have one photo that needs a clean, convincing makeover. The job is strictly object addition/removal work: I want new people composited into the scene and custom text placed so it feels as though it was captured in-camera. No background swaps or colour grading are applied beyond what is necessary to integrate the new elements.

You will receive:
• the original high-resolution image
• reference shots of the people to insert
• wording, font preferences, and placement notes for the text

Your task is to blend the figures seamlessly—matching lighting, perspective, and shadows—and lay in the text with realistic depth cues or effects where helpful. Please work in Adobe Photoshop using non-destructive techniques (layer masks, smart objects, and adjustment layers), so I can make any necessary adjustments later.

Deliverables:
• layered PSD with separate groups for each added person and the text
• flattened high-res JPEG or PNG for immediate use

If you have strong compositing chops and an eye for detail, I’d love to see a quick portfolio example that shows similar work. Looking forward to collaborating!
