Savage was born in 1832 in Southampton, England. He immigrated to the United States in 1851 and settled in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he became a prominent photographer. He specialised in landscape photography, capturing the natural beauty of the American West, particularly the rugged terrain of Utah. Savage also photographed many prominent figures of his time, including Brigham Young, the second president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and John Wesley Powell, the explorer who led the first expedition down the Colorado River. In addition to his photographic work, Savage was involved in other business ventures, including mining and publishing. He died in Salt Lake City in 1909 at the age of 77. Today, Savage's photographs are highly regarded for their artistic and historical value. Many of his images are in the collections of museums and archives throughout the United States.
