Photo Compositing & CGI Service
Scene creation, background replacement and 3D-style renders for campaigns.
A finished campaign image rarely comes from one frame. Our photo compositing & CGI service combines photography, rendered elements, and hand drawn masking to build scenes you could not shoot, or could not afford to shoot. Send us your files and a brief. Our 250+ in house editors handle the work, and most jobs are delivered within 24 hours.
What Our Photo Compositing & CGI Service Includes
Compositing means building one natural looking image from many sources. We create full scenes from separate shots. We replace backgrounds with studio sets, real locations, or rendered environments. We also blend CGI elements, such as surfaces, props, skies, and reflections, into photos so the final image looks real. Clients often ask us to place a product in a lifestyle scene. Some need group shots built from separate frames. Others need us to extend a set beyond what the camera captured. We also create hero images for campaigns that were never shot as one photo. Our editors mask every composite by hand. Then they match perspective, light direction, shadow depth, and color temperature. You get production ready flattened files. You can also request layered PSDs. We deliver files in the format and color space your campaign needs.
Our Process
Send your files through our secure portal with a short brief. You can send a reference image, a rough sketch, or a simple written description. A project manager reviews the job, then confirms the price and deadline before work starts. Your images then go to editors who specialize in composite work. With 250+ in house editors, we assign each job by skill, not by availability. Before delivery, every composite goes through a separate quality control review. A second team checks the edges, shadows, color match, and your brief. Revisions are included. Tell us what to adjust, and we correct it at no extra charge until the image works. For recurring campaign work, we keep your style notes on file. This helps image twenty match image one.
Who Uses Compositing and CGI
Ecommerce teams use compositing to create lifestyle images without booking locations. One product shoot can become a full season of scenes. Advertising agencies send us layered concepts for key visuals, billboards, and social media crops. Photographers outsource the heavy assembly work so they can stay behind the camera. We also create composites for real estate, including sky replacement and twilight conversion. Automotive brands use us to place vehicles into backplate scenes. Publishers use our service for covers and editorial illustration. In 40 years, we have delivered work for Amazon, MGM, and more than 12,000 other brands. The same production system can handle one hero image or a thousand catalog variants.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do you need from me to start a composite?
Send your source images at the highest resolution available. Also include a brief. This can be a reference image, a rough sketch, or a written description of the scene you want. If you have layered PSDs, camera raw files, or brand color details, send those too. More context helps us reduce revision rounds.
Can you make combined images look like a single photograph?
Yes. That is the core of our photo compositing & CGI service. We match perspective, light direction, shadow softness, reflections, grain, and color grade across every element. Each image also goes through a quality control review. Our team checks those details before delivery.
How much does photo compositing cost?
The price depends on the number of elements and the complexity of the blend. A clean background replacement costs much less than a campaign scene built from scratch.
