"Smile with the eyes," Edwin Gledhill frequently told his sitters. As one scholar has noted, there are rarely glimpses of teeth in the elegant portraits made by the Gledhills, husband and wife photographic partners...The Gledhills worked collaboratively; he arranged the sitter while she maneuvered the camera. Their images were largely Pictorialist in the soft-focus style of the day, and they photographed the wealthy vacationers and artistic community that thrived in Santa Barbara."- getty museum.
