This portrait of Ivan Pavlov was taken at our Bond Street studio during a visit to Britain in the early 1900's. Pavlov’s work with dogs laid the foundation for behavioural psychology. Another image showing the setup that gave rise to the term “Pavlovian conditioning.”

In the 1800s, a smile in a photo could damage your reputation.
Today, not smiling gets you labelled "awkward."
Here’s a short history of how the grin became photogenic.
