The Four Frames

The lens kit — subjective, structural, cultural and postmodern — four ways to read one portrait. From why "do I like it?" runs out so fast, all the way to switching frames fluently and writing a response that actually sounds clever. Four short steps, each with its own toy to play with.

1 Where it comes fromOne portrait, four questions — feel how the same face opens up four different ways. 2 How to do itThe frames explorer: cycle all four frames over one portrait and watch a rich reading stack up. 3 Where it gets trickyA matcher — spot which frame a statement speaks from, and dodge the mislabel traps. 4 Out in the wildA response builder — pick one insight per frame and watch a strong paragraph assemble.
