ALEJANDRO MALAGÓN
I finished my high school studies in Seattle, United States. This experience allowed me not only to study and improve my language skills in English, but also to learn how adapt to a hitherto unknown culture inside of a typical American family. Relating this experience with the field of communication, what I learned in Seattle was to look through a camera, learn the history of photography, understand the importance of light in the world of photography, reveal roll film, enlarge negatives and learn the relevance of the contrast and develop my creativity through photosensitive paper.

Here began my career as a college student in the triple degree in Advertising and Public Relations, Journalism and Audiovisual Communication within the Bilingual program. The important knowledge skills acquired in Madrid were: delve into the world of advertising and communication through briefings and campaigns contests; reinforce my knowledge of photography; writing, producing and post producing reports and commercials, both for television and radio; gain knowledge about business and institutional communication. This knowledge was studied individually or analysed and discussed in groups, in each case contributing to my creative skills.

During Cibeles Fashion Week 2010 in Madrid, I worked as a Photography Postproducer for ELLE Magazine. I was encharged of making magazine covers with the pictures of the attendees, shot by Siaue Zero. This action was so successful that we were selected for the campaign in the season 2011, where we videotaped the audience as if they were walking in the catwalk.

When I was introduced in the area of photography, thanks to classes in Seattle and San Pablo CEU, I realized that I wanted to see it from the inside. Therefore, I decided to become an assistant photographer for two photographers focused on different fields of photography: Siaue Zero fielded in Fashion Photography and Cesar Lucas Abreu in Editorial and Product Photography. Both experiences helped me to understand not only photography, but also composition and the business behind on it.

With just a month apart, I went from living from the south of Brazil to Central Europe, Amsterdam. The cultural shock was bigger than in Brazil, it probaly was because I have became accustomed to Brazilian culture. In the Dutch institution I have acquired knowledge in visual communication and visual language; producing client briefs and producing campaigns as an agency, organizing design strategies and campaigns from the point of view of a design manager and designer, and ending with knowledge of cross-media. At the same time, preparing the TFC (Final Year Project) focusing on the post production of photographs for fashion magazines.
PUCRS University. Porto Alegre, RS (Brazil)
2011 - 2012
After three years in Madrid it was time to focus on Advertising and Public Relations and the first exchange destination was Porto Alegre, Brazil. A year in which I had to dust off my skills on how to live in new cultures, although this time would have a component: learning, studying and living in a completely unknown language, Portuguese. From the academic point of view, the most important skills learnt in Porto Alegre were: knowledge on creation of 360 degrees advertising campaigns, extensive knowledge in graphic production field, theories of design and express them within the campaign, reinforce my knowledge of photography in advertising photography and learn about the different research methods of public relations.
