Darius Kinsey was an American photographer known for large-format landscape and industrial photography of the Pacific Northwest, particularly logging operations and mountain scenery in Washington and Oregon during the early twentieth century. Working with cumbersome view cameras and glass plate negatives, he documented the region's timber industry and natural topography with technical precision and compositional clarity. His archive comprises thousands of negatives that serve as a visual record of the landscape and labor practices of the era.
