This is where it all began! Year 1996.

We include this space in the Top 10 Dakota Photos Universe filled by the feelings and memories of our origins.

BCN Glories Shopping Centre is located at the 22@, the city’s technological district which hosts most of companies and start-ups in the sector.

In this Centre we proposed the installation, during the three months of the summer, of a small space of only 8 sq m, located in the Plaza de las Constelaciones, -at the heart of the new shopping centre-, in which to offer visitors the opportunity to be photographed with various fantasy characters and other features, and capture them in all kinds of supports, including photographs, photo frames, mugs, T-shirts, calendars, jigsaw puzzles…

In an uninterrupted day from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and in difficult conditions due to the lack of experience and the small structure of the recently created Dakota Photos, we compensated for all shortcomings with unrivalled enthusiasm and the strength of a young, innovative and ground-breaking idea.

With barely any structure and initially with family advice only, we incorporated people into the administrative team who are still working with us today. On a technological level, we collaborated with companies that have been growing together with us since and have become our technological partners. When it comes to customer service, we use logic and good manners, starting conversations with the obliged “hello”, followed by a “please”, and closing with a “thank you”. Always.

Since then, more than 25 years innovating, improving and growing, on a path in which we have never left aside the spirit with which we started and which has led us to be a global service company, nearly unique in the world.

We live eternally the dream of a summer night.

Thank you!
