Eland offers free photo shoots at its Global R&D Center

Eland announced Tuesday it will hold a free photo shoot event for customers and employees, offering a variety of concepts.

Applications are open through Saturday via a post on the magazine tab of Eland's official website. Shoots will take place in August. Backdrops include spaces inside the center not normally open to the public — a mirror pond spanning about 3,960 square meters, a central staircase and a rooftop garden reserved for employees.

One team will be selected from among engaged or newlywed couples to receive a complimentary wedding photo shoot. Dresses, hair and makeup will all be provided. Photographer Choi Young-min of Badam Film will handle the shoot. Dresses will be supplied by Leam, a made-to-order dress brand by designer Eleonore Lim. Hair and makeup will be provided by Nayeon Room.

Photo shoots for families, couples, friends and pets will also be held. Eight specialist photography teams will participate across the categories. Badam Film, Yeongho Gogo and Modeun Film will cover family shoots; Onsiroc and Pobamin will handle couple shoots; Monghwa Film will take on friendship shoots; and Richywist and Choi Tae Photo will cover pet shoots.

Outfit styling support will also be provided. SPAO will supply clothing for family shoots, WHO.A.U for couple shoots and MIXXO for friendship shoots. Footwear from SHOOPEN will also be available.

"We will select participants by comprehensively reviewing the sincerity of the stories applicants share and how well they align with the spirit of the event," an Eland official said. "We hope to help people preserve their cherished relationships and special moments in photographs for years to come."
