Ultra-Realistic Apparel Mockups Needed

Photoshop Expert Needed for Ultra-Realistic Apparel Mockups (Lifestyle Images)

We are looking for a Photoshop expert who specializes in creating high-end, photorealistic apparel mockups.

This is NOT a simple "place artwork on a t-shirt" job.

We create premium lifestyle content for an apparel brand and need someone who can make detailed vector artwork look as though it was genuinely printed on the garment during the original photoshoot.

You Must Be Able To:
Apply detailed vector artwork onto existing lifestyle photography
Warp artwork naturally to follow fabric folds, body movement and perspective
Match garment texture, grain and weave
Blend inks into the fabric (not floating on top)
Match fading, vintage distressing and washed garment textures
Handle oversized back prints, chest prints and sleeve prints
Preserve realistic lighting, wrinkles, shadows and highlights
Remove existing graphics from shirts when required
Change garment colours while maintaining natural fabric texture
Work from AI, EPS and SVG vector files
Deliver layered PSDs when requested. This Is Important

We are extremely detail-oriented.

We will notice:

Artwork stretching incorrectly
Incorrect perspective
Floating graphics
Poor distress blending
Wrong ink density
Unrealistic print edges
Incorrect lighting
Repeating clone patterns
AI-looking edits

We're looking for someone who obsesses over realism.

Bonus Skills
Frequency Separation
Advanced Retouching
Colour Matching
High-end Product Retouching
Clothing Compositing
Generative Fill (used subtly, not as a shortcut)
Ongoing Work

This is not a one-off project.

We release new apparel regularly and are looking for someone we can work with every week.
