Retirement Pictures-A mature man falling through the air clutching a red umbrella is a metaphor for the challenges of retirement planning and investment.



Retirement Challenges, Investment Losses and A Falling Mature Man

This picture of a mature man falling through the sky while holding on to a red umbrella is a metaphor for retirement challenges such as loss of investments, declining retirement benefits, the loss of nest eggs and unemployment or underemployment issues. An umbrella is a great symbol for protection, and in this case, the protection of investments, savings, and retirement benefits. In this photo the red umbrella has been inverted by the force of the wind and as an older man of retirement age falls through the sky. It is clear from the man's billowing clothes, flying tie, and body position that he is falling at a high rate of speed. The umbrellas is failing in it's function of slow his descent. This will be a hard landing!


Using Humor in Photography To Illustrate Serious Problems With Retirement And Investments

Using humor in photography to illustrate serious problems helps bring attention to such problems in several ways. First, approaching this visual from a place of humor, a funny picture, makes it a little easier for us to even look. Who wants to look at problems anyway? Once we take the time to look at the picture the image has done its job...getting us to stop and read the headline and hopefully the body copy as well. Secondly, in a world over-saturated with advertising and promotional messages, it is important to offer an entertaining visual. Given the choice of looking at a serious image or a humorous one, most people choose the humorous option.


Small Business Challenges

Small business challenges are another concept that can be represented by a man falling through the sky holding an umbrella. Because the man in this picture is wearing a suit he represents business, and because he is the only person in the image, he can represent small business. The fact that he is falling shows adversity and challenge, and the fact that he hold an umbrellas shows that his safety net, his protection, whether that be through insurance, an association, capital, or other investments, is failing. This is a great photograph for advertising enhanced insurance policies, insurance review, and review and adjustment of all investments. Such a picture can be utilized by consultants, investment companies, insurance companies and even political entities.
