Walter Chappell (1925-200) was an important 20th century American photographer, primarily known for his unique and provocative black and white photography of landscapes, nature, and the nude human body. As a three-time recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, he traveled the country, working with notable artists like Minor White and Ansel Adams, galleries like the Eastman House in Rochester, NY, and publications like Aperture Magazine.
