In this episode, we meet portrait photographer Casey Orr, whose acclaimed work explores identity, community, fashion, and youth culture across the UK. Best known for Saturday Town, her award‑winning, decade‑long project, Casey has photographed hundreds of young people in pop‑up portrait studios on high streets, capturing how style becomes a language of self‑expression.

Through her collaborative approach, Casey uses portraiture to examine “identity of self, of community and tribe”, revealing how fashion reflects shifting social values and cultural change. Saturday Town charts a vibrant visual history of youth identity from 2013 to today, celebrating creativity, resilience, and the evolving aesthetics of young people across towns and cities.
