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."
