Groover was noted for her use of emerging color technologies. In 1979, Groover began to use platinum prints for portraits and still lifes, transforming everyday items into beautiful, formal still lifes. In 1987, critic Andy Grundberg noted in The New York Times, "In 1978 an exhibition of her dramatic still-life photographs of objects in her kitchen sink caused a sensation. When one appeared on the cover of Artforum magazine, it was a signal that photography had arrived in the art world - complete with a marketplace to support it."[3]
Groover also used early 20th century camera technology, such as the banquet camera, for elongated, horizontal presentations of otherwise pedestrian items. In a New York Times review of Groover's work exhibited at Janet Borden Inc., New York, in 1997, critic Roberta Miller called Groover's work "beautiful and masterly in the extreme."

A banquet camera is a type of large format camera used in the early 20th century for photographing large groups of people in formal occasions.
The film format of banquet cameras were of narrow aspect ratio, with formats of 7x17 in. and 12x20 in. being common. Their use died out as enlarging smaller formats became more popular [1] wide angle lens use increased, and the snapshot aesthetic became acceptable to record even highly formal events.
