Tom Forletta grew up in an environment surrounded by photography. His father was a photographer in the United States Navy and later for KNBC in Burbank, CA. Both his grandparents and Godparents had their own personal dark rooms and from a very early age Tom was shooting and developing his own images. He took many photography classes and became the photo editor for his school's yearbook. At age 16 Tom began working in a photo lab processing color negative a print while continuing to develop his own shooting style. Professionally the transition to colorist was as natural for Tom as breathing. His lifetime of being surrounded by creative people in the field of photography made his career path simple. Tom brings all of that early experience plus over 25 years of colorist experience to every job and project that he works on. His ability to look at images and bring them to life has led him to color some of TVs top rated show such as This Is Us. He has also worked directly in the theatrical world with some of the best cinematographers including Academy Award winners Emmanuel Lubezki and Claudio Miranda.
