Missed Flights, Missed Connections, and Missed Opportunities: Photo of A Departing Plane

It is late afternoon as this African American businessman, holding his briefcase, watches his flight depart without him. The jet can be seen high in the sky above him. This is a photo of missed connections, missed flights and missed opportunities. There are several factors that work together to make this a good stock photo. First, there is a stark simplicity which makes it easy to read even at small thumbnail sizes. Secondly, the message is clear: He is a businessman who has missed his flight. Finally, there is enough ambiguity to facilitate all manner of uses. This photo can be about missed connections. This can be a picture of missed opportunities. Or, it could be a photo of what is to come, about possibilities and the way forward. Deadlines in danger can also be illustrated by photos of missed connections.

Departing Airplanes And Possible Uses

The possible uses for pictures of departing airplanes are numerous. A picture of a man watch his flight depart can be used for airlines, travel companies, time management products and even alternative or ground transportation facilities. This can be a picture of broken dreams, or at least dreams delayed. It can be a visual illustration of lost opportunities and missed connections. This is a business stock photo because of the man's business attire and briefcase. It is late in the game, even a worse time to miss a flight, as indicated by the late afternoon sun. The clouds in the sky can indicate turbulent times in the business world.This can be a picture about adversity, challenge and problems.

Crafting A Jet Plane Stock Photo For Maximum Success

To make this jet plane stock photo as successful as possible I created a layout that can effectively be utilized as a vertical for possible magazine covers, as an extreme horizontal for banner ads and magazine spreads, and as a square for whatever reason. There is ample room in the sky for type and body copy. The image has a stark, graphic style that cuts through the clutter to capture a viewer's attention. The airliner has all identifying logos and graphics removed. Because there is no identifying airport this can be at any airline facility or world city. I anticipate very good sales for this stock image.
