Dolce Vita Productions ended 2003 in style, with a brand-new website, and plenty of action.

December kicked off with a bang at Barcelona's Camp Nou football stadium, where the Dolce Vita team produced Nike's forthcoming international still campaign. For 2 weeks, dozens of world-famous footballers posed for high-profile photographer Warwick Saint; Dolce Vita ensured that things went smoothly and an all-round success was scored.

Fashion catalogues keep on coming, even in the winter months, when Dolce Vita sweeps them away to the sunny Canaries, avoiding them the hassle and expense of a long haul flight to more distant locations.

Photographer Alfonso Vidal-Quadras (DDB Barcelona) shot Princesa´s new display image. He also initiated an exciting project of creating the cover for the monthly online fashion magazine DressLab.com.

The unexpected Barcelona: Feature film industry keeps up trusting in Barcelona's possibilities as a set. As an example of how versatile our city is, here are two of the feature films, which have taken place during February:

Popular and charming director Alex de la Iglesia chose the Sephora premises at the Triangle Shopping Center in Plaça Catalunya to shoot the last scenes of his black comedy "Crimen Ferpecto" (Ferpect Crime) starring Guillermo Toledo and Mónica Cervera. De la Iglesia managed to fit in the middle of the night one hundred people running up the shop escalator.

And the production company Zeppelins Integrals used one of the most unknown and hidden sets of the city for the TV-movie "Stockholm". Director Orestes Lara reproduced an alternative party at Torre Baró, an unfinished tower in the Nou Barris quarter.

JM Ferrater shot the new TCN campaign in Barcelona with creative- and art direction of La Sal. The model was Anika Mc Kay (Traffic). Bea Matallana did hair & make up.

For El País Semanal he shot a fashion editorial with Elena Rosenkova (Traffic) in a Christian Dior gown. Reneé Lopez de Haro headed the stylist direction and Lewis (Servimatge) did hair & make up.

Standing above Kevin Costner, not to fall down was not easy for Gabo. Gabo shot him for the pr of his new movie "Open Range" and for "Zeit" magazine.

Claudia Schiffer's baby Caspar was smiling into Gabo's camera in a fantastic mood, as professional as his mother Claudia.

The italian photographer Luca Tronci just released his latest reportage "Being Colourful, Naturally" dedicated to Barcelona and its multicoloured people.

Framing the Catalan city as a musical theme, the photographer leads the viewers to compare it to a tune or a jazz standard, interpreted and transformed every time into styles of the most remote corners of the world.

Barcelona is the theme: it turns into a bossa nova if there is a Brazilian man in the frame. Then, a Cuban breeze comes along, with mambo vibes. Over there, you can hear calypso being played, or raji sounding out of the Algerian face you might see.

The photographer Jose Antonio Beorlegui shot the Viceroy campaign.

Bcn Skies productions produced the Lexmark catalogue shot by Goran Tacevski.

Madeleine Catalogue was photographed by Stephan Ach, Art Direction by Sabrina Weberstetter.

Pep Avila shot the cover and fashion editorial "Especial Primavera-Verano" for La Vanguardia Magazine.

Production Paradise fought successfully for the improvement of conditions for photo shootings in Barcelona:

Production Paradise joined forces with other members of the Barcelona photo industry to protect small photo productions from city council plans to impose a 300 Euro location-fee for shooting in public areas. The council reviewed its plans and decided to retain the current policy, which allows small photo productions to be carried out in Barcelona without charge.

Ana Huber shot the new campaign for the firm Roca with photographer Outumuro. She is also the new image for Hugo Boss Fragrance.

Also with Outumuro, Sanda Bajic shot the new image catalogue for Adriana Alier (wedding dresses).

For the past days we have been living the Fashion Week very intensely:  Spectacular Canise has been booked for many designers and has shown off all of her elegance on the catwalk. But it wasn't just her: Luka, Dasha, Sarah Le Bris, Marcella, Abby, Linda and Amelia have also done plenty of shows for the past week. On Saturday our new faces also proved their talent on the runway for the young designers at the 9th edition of Circuit: Gracey, Holly and Belen.

As casual as it gets, Jordi Sanchez is in the new Springfield catalogue. We can't wait for the spring to get here!

Belen is the naïve beauty in the new spring Nath catalogue.

Esther Cañadas' gaze in "The Thomas Crown Affair", left spectators longing for more. Esther did not hesitate when she was offered the main role in a new cinematographic project with a Spanish Stamp, "Trileros". The film is about a gang formed by a drunk, a prostitute, a taxi driver and a madman, involved in a clandestine operation in Perpignan in exchange for a million euros: a recipe for disaster. In the process of obtaining their goal, they stumble upon a band of gangsters, who will not allow the gang to succeed.

Esther is smart and has chosen to work with a fantastic trio: Juan Echanove, Juanjo Puigcorbé and Pepe Sancho, in order to show that she is not only beautiful but also talented. The critics agree with her, and the movie is a must. However Esther leaves the public, as always, wanting more and more...
