Meet Zach Franzen
World-Class Sports Photographer | Trusted by World Rugby | Seen on Getty, BBC, and Beyond
Zach Franzen
For nearly a decade, I’ve chased the emotion, motion, and magic of elite sport through my lens. From the deafening roar of a packed stadium to the quiet intensity of a pre-match huddle, I live for the moments that most people miss—but that athletes, teams, and fans will never forget.
I’m currently the official photographer for the HSBC SVNS series, traveling the globe with World Rugby to cover the fast-paced world of international rugby sevens. My work has appeared in Getty Images, BBC Sport, Reuters, and across dozens of national unions and commercial partners.
I’ve photographed Olympians, Rugby World Cups, and rising stars fighting for their first shot. I’ve captured it all—from the mud and grit to the gold-medal glory. My style balances documentary honesty with editorial polish, delivering imagery that feels powerful, emotional, and unmistakably alive.
