The release of the photo of Chapman comes with the possibility of parole for a 10th time.
The 63-year-old was scheduled to go before New York's parole board this week.
A decision is expected within two weeks of the hearing.
Chapman is serving 20-years-to-life in the Wende Correctional Facility in western New York.
