Laura Linn (b. Porto Alegre, Brazil) is a photographer, actress, and screenwriter. She's had a camera in her hand since she was little — long before she knew what to do with one, she was already trying to hold onto things before they disappeared.

​

She first studied filmmaking in Brazil before making the full transition to acting, moving to the United States to study at UCLA and complete the two-year conservatory program at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City.

​

As an actress, she has worked with Oscar-nominated director Darrell Roodt in The Furnace, and starred alongside Theo Rossi, Kim Coates, and Dermot Mulroney in The Getback, with additional credits including Breathless, Bring the Law, Double Blind, and Catharsis. She is also the author of Into the Furnace (2018) and is currently developing the feature film FRAMES, which she wrote.

​

She's always been curious about different corners of the world — different cultures, different stories to tell. That curiosity is what's pulled her through acting, writing, and photography, all different ways of searching for the same thing: connection with people, with stories.

 

Lens of the Unseen — the name chosen for her website — comes from what it means: what's in front of us that we so often don't see, but matters most. She shoots across different cities, always chasing what's real over what's arranged. She specializes in family, maternity, and couples photography, chasing the version of someone that shows up when they stop trying to be seen in a certain way.

​

When she's not behind the camera or in front of it, she's usually got her dog with her, wandering around coffee shops in New York — which is exactly where her dog's name, Latte, came from. Coffee's a genuine passion of hers.
