So I'm trying to model using a background image and I really need the front face of the image to be facing the same direction as the z axis.

  • From your quite short description it seems that you'd like to see background image in the Top Ortho preset view (Numpad7). Setup the background image properly (image settings > Axis > Top or Bottom) or add image empty or Image as Plane.

  • you can make the background image appear only in a specific axis. By default is set to all views but you can make it be top, bottom, front, back, left right or camera. –  Feb 03 '17 at 23:09

After adding the background image to the 3D view simply change the axis the image is displayed on.
