Early life

Career
In 2010, he went travelling with his girlfriend before attending university in Sheffield. During his stay in Los Angeles, he was scouted by Scott Pollicino who arranged him a meeting with Ford Models. However, Sauve could not sign a contract with them because of the university. He was recommended to Premier Model Management in London. His first photoshoot was for the Attitude magazine. Sauve later commented on his first experience in front of the camera: "I had no idea what I was doing! I was freezing, standing on a roof wearing just a kilt. I thought to think about something to affect the look they were asking for. I pretended I lost my wallet and that there was sun in my eyes. The photographer said that's it! I discovered my look and loosened up. I've been comfortable in front of a camera ever since."
