Climbing The Ladder of Success

This CEO can be seen climbing the ladder of success, or perhaps climbing a ladder into the "cloud". In either case, there is an obvious challenge as he is at the top of the ladder without yet reaching his goal. This Chief Executive Office is an African American male and we have a signed model release. The cloudscape or cloud cover that he is ascending through stretches off into the distance as far as one can see. The image is easily cropped to any format with an abundance of copy space. The image can be used to advertise and promote products and services to help businesses deal with the cloud, online computing, storage and retrieval, and Internet connections. The photo is also well-suited for helping individuals and executives succeed both personally and in business.

Internet Search And Retrieval

A man standing at the top of the ladder looking over a cloudscape is a photographic metaphor for search and retrieval on the Internet. The ladder in this case not only represents a search engine, but in inadequate search engine at that. Because the businessman has reached the top of the ladder but still hasn't found what he is looking for, the ladder is symbolic of a failed or incomplete search. In a world increasingly migrating to the cloud the role of search and retrieval becomes ever more important. 

Business Moving To The Cloud

This can be seen as an image about business moving to the cloud. The newness of online and distributing computing compares to the newness confronting the man in this photograph as he pokes his head up through the clouds. Cloud computing is a brave new world that every business is going to have to deal with. It is the way forward to success.

Unique Ladder Climbing Photos

This is not your typical ladder climbing image. The man, for example, is more of a Chief Executive type and wearing an upscale suit. The angle is a bit atypical as well as we are looking down on the scene from a viewpoint above the clouds. The image has a sophistication and a drama most ladder climbing images lack.
