From 1978 he first worked for The Melbourne Times, then for Syme Community Newspapers and has since been a freelancer contributing toTime on the covers of which his work featured more than a dozen times, BRW and The Bulletin, as well as Australian newspapers.[2]

Rural Australian inhabitants,[3] the Australian bush landscape and vernacular architecture and Australian Federal politicsCite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).[4] are Chapman's main photographic subjects, all entailing frequent long-distance travel across the island continent, the work of Jeff Carter being an inspiration to him in that regard.[5]

Since 2006, Chapman has published several books and has made photographic contributions to others’. He has exhibited in Australia, France and the USA.

In 2011 Chapman had a liver transplant, during which he was almost blinded due to a viral infection, prompting him to hold a 2012 exhibition Nearly A Retrospective, a survey of four decades of his work.[6][7]

He initiated a project of the group resulting in a widely viewed exhibition that toured the country for 5 years, and publication; ‘Beyond Reasonable Drought’, recording global warming-induced drought across Australia.[8][9][10]
