Tom Groves

Production

Through working for nearly a decade, both as an assistant in the field and in a production role I’m skilled in scanning, retouching and mastering images for exhibitions, portfolios and books and have done so for some of the world’s leading art and documentary photographers, including Stephen Gill, Martin Parr and the late Tony Ray-Jones. I can apply my own technical and aesthetic ability as a photographer to understand the original message and intention of an image and showcase this in any reproduction I work on, in a sensitive and respectful way.
I have extensive experience in managing the production of high-quality photobooks; working closely with the photographer and publisher to edit and sequence the images; liasing with the designers and printers to ensure the colours and design are in-keeping with the brief; and coordinating the whole process to ensure the publication in delivered on time, budget and to the highest standard.  I am delighted to say that I am now a partner in  Bread&Butter Studio and will continue to work in the field alongside Louis Little
