    LAURA ALBANI | Directors Representative at Sehsucht.


    Berlin born and Barcelona bred, Laura always loved movies, specially the cute animated ones.After realising she probably wont be a rich academy award winning actor herself, neither an animated figure, right after graduating school, she decided to rather start her career behind the camera. From audio post- & music-production, her way went quite speedy into other areas of the commercial production world - always driven by her need to gather an overall understanding for the full "making a movie" process. After working as a producer, she understood the undeniable fact: what makes a film beautiful is always the team behind it, the artists, in each little segment and process of movie making. Since 2018 she's representing artist from VFX/3D and post production, 2019 she founded her own agency specialised on Sound Artists. In 2021 she started working as Talent Manager for Production Houses, and shifted over to Sehsucht in 2022, to look for great talents to work with, whilst representing Sehsucht's amazing Directors and Creatives Roster.

  • EP 61 ART: Building trust in the digital age.

    " I am a fashion designer and 3D art director. I combine these two disciplines to create a unique style of digital fashion art, designing fashion products and capturing 3D-rendered photography and film to showcase my creative ideas.

    I studied at Central Saint Martins Menswear program, and I have also trained at Parsons School of Design for fashion illustrations. With a decent background in fashion design, 3D art, and motion graphics, I have the ability to turn virtual 3D products into reality, bridging the gap between the digital and physical worlds.

    My work is characterized by its simplicity and minimalism, with a focus on bold and striking colors to create a strong sense of contrast. My aim is to create designs that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also innovative and thought-provoking.

    With the blend of my skills and vision, I am paving the way for a new era of digital fashion art, pushing the boundaries of what is possible and redefining the relationship between fashion and technology."
