Photos by Robert L. Chaplin

Robert L. Chaplin is a fine art photographer and has led nature photography workshops and photo tours from Florida to Maine and Alaska for more than twenty years. He is also a co-founder of the South Florida National Parks Camera Club.

Robert's favorite subject is the Everglades, and his contribution to them extends beyond his photography. He is the Philanthropic Chair of the Florida National Parks Association, and his photograph, Florida Bay Fishermen, is a State of Florida vehicle specialty plate that supports Everglades National Park.

He also co-authored and published a one-of-a-kind photographic guide, 'Everglades National Park: A Photographic Destination.' This guide is a testament to his deep understanding and love for the Everglades, and it is a must-have for any nature lover or photography enthusiast.
