Deer In the Headlights: Woman In the Headlights

Woman In The Headlights

Who among us hasn't at some time or another felt frozen with indecision in the face of the unexpected or the continuing onslaught of change? This picture illustrates that feeling perfectly as a woman is frozen in position half way across a country road in the glare of headlights at dusk. The woman is wearing a business suit indicating that the image is a business oriented one. This is a perfect metaphor of a state of confusion and inaction. This is a great image to advertise and promote products and services that help businesses and individuals deal with change as well as with surprises and unexpected challenges.

A Deer In The Headlights; A Woman Undecided

While it is possible to find pictures of a deer in the headlights, this is the first image I am aware of that extends that visual metaphor directly to the human condition. The woman stands, mouth agape, motionless in the headlights on a deserted country road. It is a feeling we can all identify with all too well. Too much information, too much change, and all of it too sudden. This humorous stock photo also incorporates ample room for type, headlines and copy. It can be cropped as a horizontal, a square, or a vertical. The image is simple and graphic and reads well even at small thumbnail sizes making it useful on websites and even mobile apps.

The Pace of Change In The Glare Of Headlights

In this metaphorical stock picture the glare of headlights represent the pace of change as well as the unexpected and the crushing avalanche of information we are all subjected to each day. Change, information overload, and technological advancements all can render us incapable of action and making decisions. This is important to us both as individuals and as businesses. This is a photo of fear, a picture of indecision, and an image of inaction. The woman in this picture is an Hispanic model and has signed a model release.
