FRANCK GAZZOLA

PHOTOGRAPHER / FILMMAKER / PUBLIC SPEAKER

Franck Gazzola is a documentary photographer and filmmaker specialising in capturing stunning imagery in remote and hostile environments.

Swapping his corporate suit and tie job for diving in a dry suit with a camera housing in –35ºC waters has led to multiple awards and regular features in publications including National Geographic, RedBulletin, WIRED, Times, and Nature.

Franck is a ''Swiss-army knife'' when it comes to his photography skills, allowing him to build 360º stories on his own and in challenging environments. He grew the ability to work with any available light and has the agility to juggle within a few minutes between shooting the darkness of the twilight zone deep underwater, to capturing wildlife, environmental portraiture, close in-action shots of his subject or bringing poetry though landscapes.

Franck has worked on major films for international TV channels, presented a TEDx talk, and captured work for prestigious clients like Rolex and WWF.

When he’s not onboard an expedition ship or shooting a conservation story, Franck spends most of his time in Byron Bay, Australia, working on advertising, commercial, and documentary assignments. He is the DIrector of storytelling agency and production support Creative Frame of Mind Pty Ltd. He also manages the Frothers Gallery.
