EMMA CAMMACK

About Emma Cammack

Emma Cammack is an award-winning Body Painter and Makeup Artist based in London, recognised as one of the UK’s top international body painting professionals. With over three decades of experience, Emma creates exceptional body art for editorial, advertising, television, promotions, live events, and media. Her impressive client list includes global brands such as Ford, Motorola, BBC, Guinness, Philips, Sky, Warner Brothers, Sports Illustrated, Candy Kittens, and The Prince’s Trust.

A pioneer in camouflage body painting, Emma is renowned for her ability to blend models seamlessly into their surroundings, producing stunning optical illusions that have been featured across international media. From high-profile commercial campaigns to intricate artistic projects, she has mastered the art of making subjects disappear—or stand out—in the most creative ways.

Beyond camouflage, Emma is a versatile artist, bringing characters to life with body paint, prosthetics, custom headpieces, and costumes. Whether designing abstract visuals or working from client’s own designs, she creates hyper-realistic artwork, crisp airbrushed logos or lettering, abstract fantasy looks and custom temporary tattoos, bringing client’s visions to life. 

Emma’s work has taken her around the world, collaborating with clients in the US (Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York, Orlando, Chicago), South Korea, Brazil, Singapore, Mykonos, Austria, Germany, Greece, Turkey, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, and France. She leads a trusted team of skilled body painters, makeup artists, and hairstylists for larger-scale projects and can arrange custom headpieces, costume elements, event body painted clothes and background murals for camouflage bodypaint looks to compliment her work.

Empowerment Through Art

Emma is passionate about using body painting as a tool for self-expression and empowerment. Her personal projects explore themes of self-love, confidence, and personal storytelling, collaborating with clients to paint their journeys onto their bodies. She has worked extensively with breast cancer survivors, HIV-positive individuals, burns victims, breastfeeding mothers, Crohn’s sufferers, menopausal women, and amputees, helping them embrace their bodies through the transformative power of body art. Her work on Channel 4’s Naked Beach and Sat1’s No Body is Perfect has furthered body positivity discussions on an international scale.
