Back in 2019, photographer and makeup artist Amanda Chapman photographed Robert McCammon for his author portrait for Cardinal Black. We also posted an interview with Amanda conducted by Robert McCammon as she applied the makeup. That interview can be found on YouTube.

This year, Amanda has created a whole series of Halloween-themed makeups and portraits, and Robert wanted you to see them. Here are three of his favorites. You can see a bunch more examples of her great work on Facebook in the folder Amanda Chapman’s Halloween 2021. Even more can be found on Instagram page, AmandaChapmanSFX!
