He had pulmonary fibrosis, said his daughter Mackenzie Carpenter.
Beginning in the early 1950s, Mr. Carpenter worked on the business side of Life magazine, a weekly publication known for its photography. He rose through the magazine’s ranks to become business manager and then general manager before he was named publishing director for Life’s Asian edition. From 1968 to 1971, Mr. Carpenter was based in Tokyo and started Life’s first Japanese-language edition.
After Life folded in 1972, Mr. Carpenter embarked on a new career in Washington. From 1974 until his retirement in 1993, he was a senior vice president in the Washington office of the Magazine Publisher Association, the consumer magazine trade group.
Chapin Carpenter, a native of Bryn Mawr, Pa., was a 1945 graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, N.H. He was a 1949 history graduate of Princeton University and served two years in the National Guard before joining Life.
He served as a member of the vestry at St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church in the District and was a past president of the City Tavern Club in Georgetown.
His marriage to the former Bowie Robertson ended in divorce.
