The f4 & See It Foundation was created to support, inspire, and encourage photojournalism and documentary photography in the pursuit of the compelling telling of stories. Stephan coined "f4 and See It" as a play on a long-time news photography adage "f8 and be there." The rephrasing represents forethought and patience along with a cognitive and emotional awareness of a story playing out in front of a photographer's camera. The approach encourages anticipation of decisive moments while crafting images with purpose beyond their archival worth. Savoia's collection of images reflects more than four decades of work documenting human experiences and emotions within the history his subjects were living.
