Raper James Waters (born 1856) was an American photographer in California and Nevada.[1]

In 1892, Waters opened a commercial photography studio in San Francisco.[1]

Photographs by Waters are held at the J. Paul Getty Museum,[2] the Metropolitan Museum of Art,[3] the Library of Congress,[4] the Online Archive of California,[5] and the University of Nevada, Reno library.[6]

The Library of Congress has two of his panoramic photographs from 1909, three years after the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake.[4]
