Businessman Riding A Galloping White Horse

A herd of stampeding white horses is led by a businessman on his galloping steed in a stock photo about leadership, success, skill, courage, initiative and even freedom. The man is riding the horse bareback and griping its mane tightly while he wears an expression of excitement and enthusiasm. The thundering hooves of the charging horses kick up bits of earth and clouds of dust as they run across an empty field. This is a small business image as indicated by just having one businessman. That he is moving forward indicates the concepts of "The Way Forward", achievement and success.

Horsemanship, Skill And Leadership

The horsemanship displayed in this image is a metaphor for skill and leadership, not to mention courage and initiative. The businessman is at the front of the pack indicating his leadership role, and that he can stay mounted on a stampeding horse, bareback, is testament to his skills not just as an equestrian, but as a leader as well. He has taken the initiative, acted with courage, and is winning the race to success in the corporate world and global markets.

Stampeding Horses

Stampeding horses are a metaphor for all kinds of business concepts ranging from mass market behavior to to power, strength and speed. The fact that the running horses are white lends a positive aspect to the image. The dust and dirt kicked up by their hooves symbolizes the confusion that exists in a fast-paced business environment. The wide open sky shows that possibilities and opportunities are rampant. In effect, the sky is the limit. The horses were photographed early in the morning which is a symbol of new beginnings.

Creating A Stock Photo Showing Business Success

To create this stock photo illustrating business success I photographed a single horse as it raced around a corral. I used Photoshop to create a composite of over a dozen photographs of the horse. I also photographed a leaf blower kicking up dust and dirt on an unpaved road. I used several of the dust and dirt images with layer masks to "paint" the dust in the scene. I photographed the model, Nader Khouri, a fellow photographer, in my studio and again used Photoshop to put in on the stampeding horse. The background was a sky image of photographed, of all places, on the island of Socotra just off the coast of Yemen. Wherever I travel I am always on the lookout for images that I can use in future composites. This photo was created with ample copy space and the options of cropping it square, horizontal or vertical. It can be used for everything from magazine covers to banner advertisements to billboards.

Hard Charging Businessman Astride A White Horse

This image is the perfect illustration of a hard charging businessman as well as the American ideal of independence, self-motivation and courage. Heck, this is almost the perfect image for the American business dream, the single entrepreneur unafraid to take on the world and rush ahead to seize opportunity on the way to success. This businessman is exhibiting determination, challenge, adventure and daring.
