I.C. Rapoport (Chuck Rapoport) is known both for his work as a photojournalist in the 196Os and more recently as a TV and film screenwriter. Rapoport's photography career is noted for his Life Magazine photo essay on the aftermath of the tragic Aberfan, Wales disaster and also for his exclusive and rare photographs of Joseph Pilates, the now famous fitness master and creator of the Pilates Method.

Rapoport's photographs of Samuel Beckett were displayed in the Beckett Exposition at the Pompidou Center in Paris (Spring-2007). In the winter of 2007, a one-man showing of Rapoport's work, titled: RAPOPORT-ICONS (JFK, Jackie K, Truffaut, Fidel Castro, Becket, Aznavour, and others - from the days he worked for Paris Match) was held in Paris at the Jim Haynes Atelier.

A second one-man exposition: PARIS EST UNE FETE - 1964, a collection of photographs shot in Paris during the summer of '64, will open May 31st 2008 at the Galerie le Simoun in the 8th arrondissement, in PARIS.

A second exhibition of the PARIS IMPRESSIONS photographs will be on display at Cafe Vida in Rapoport's hometown of Pacific Palisades, CA. later in the Fall of 2008.

In Feb. 2007, Rapoport held an exhibition in Venice, CA. at Equator Books of his photo series: Times Square: The Way It Was.
