Jan Groover is widely recognized as one of the preeminent fine arts photographers. Her work has been compared to that of Morandi, Cezanne, and Weston. Guided by her credo, "Formalism is Everything, " Groover uses her unique perspective of space, light, and form to imbue her photographs with a mystical quality.

Jan Groover was born on April 24, 1943 in Plainfield, New Jersey, United States.
Jan Groover studied painting at the Pratt Institute, New York City (Bachelor of Fine Arts, 1965), and the Ohio State University (Master of Fine Arts, 1970), but she turned to photography in 1971.
After winning (1978) a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, Jan Groover purchased her first large-format camera. Groover was influenced by the works of 14th- and 15th-century still-life masters as well as those of Paul Cézanne and Giorgio Morandi and by the stop-action imagery of British photographer Eadweard Muybridge.
She taught for more than a decade at the State University of New York and counted among her pupils Gregory Crewdson, who also became known for his elaborately staged photographs.
A retrospective of her works was held in 1987 at the Museum of Modern Art, New York City. In 1991 Jan Groover and her husband, painter Bruce Boice, became disenchanted with American politics and moved to France, where she used an even larger camera to capture images of churches, graveyards, and landscapes.
