Robert James Atton is a professional FX makeup artist specializing in Film and Television. He began doing makeup at young age before youtube tutorial video’s where even a thought. He jokes when talking about his beginning saying I started in a place called mom’s kitchen.

When talking about his visional experience, Robert had worked in the emergency room for five years and in the operating room for a year and nine months. Every day I had seen firsthand the devastating effects of social disruption and personal violence. I often have seen trauma victims in a state of agony. This has provided me a unique media perspective on what the world doesn't always see and gives me an opportunity to share a real experience. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you.
