Saffron picked up her first camera on her 13th birthday, since that day continued to grow her passion for photography, capturing anything and anyone she resonated with.
Through practising photography she went on to study photography at Solihull college, where she developed her skills and knowledge of her camera, encouraging her to continue pursuing photography as a hobby.
“I shoot anything that catches my eye, not only for its beauty but for all its rawness -be it landscapes or people; my subject has never been focused on one specific thing.”
