David White is a British makeup artist. He began his career at the age of nineteen as an assistant to make-up effects artist Nick Maley in 1982 at Shepperton Film Studios. He then went to work as a creature effects designer, sculptor and make-up FX artist at Elstree Studios. This was the start of a career that has spanned over twenty years as both a prosthetic make-up and animatronic designer on many films, TV series and commercials. He formed his own company Carter White FX in 1995, with business partner Sacha Carter. Based at Shepperton Studios, Carter White FX went on to work on many different projects with David responsible for overseeing all prosthetic work, from design concept to final on-set application. In 2005 a move to a larger workshop within Shepperton Studios prompted the launch of his new company Altered States FX.
His film credits include, Return to Oz (1985), Little Shop of Horrors (1986), Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994), Troy (2004), La Vie en Rose (2007), In Bruges (2008), Snow White and the Huntsman (2012), Maleficent (2014) and Guardians of the Galaxy (2014).
