Leonard Frank (July 3, 1870 – February 23, 1944) was a German-Canadian photographer known for commercial and industrial photography.
First emigrating to San Francisco, two years later he made his way up the coast to eventually settle in the town of Alberni on Vancouver Island.
The chance win of a camera in a raffle steered him towards a career in photography.
He became especially noted for his logging and landscape views.
In 1916 Frank relocated to Vancouver, where he established a successful commercial studio.
Frank left behind a massive body of work, much of it found at the Alberni Valley Museum, the Jewish Historical Society of British Columbia, and the Vancouver Public Library.
