Loan Shark Concept Stock Photo

Loan Sharks! This concept stock photo features a giant, partcially submerged piggy bank with two great white sharks and a hammer head shark circling around it. Sitting on top of the piggy bank is a forlorn man, dejected as he mulls over his not-so-great options. This is an image about debt, predatory lending practices, and unsound investments. It can also be seen as failed retirement planning, underwater mortgages, and usuarious interest rates. This is a versatile and flexible stock picture about finance, particularly home finance. It is all the more attention-getting and memorable because just about all of us have an inate fear of sharks and for many being underwater is also a terrifying experience. This is an image that can be universally identified with.

With the success of the shark tank TV series sharks have become all that much more in vogue and in addition are now strongly associated with capital investment and finance. Thus, our shark image becomes more timely than ever!

Sharks And PIggy Banks

Sharks are an iconic symbol or risk and danger while piggy banks are the symbol of savings and investment. Combine the two, as in this funny shark image, and  you have a great metaphor for financial distress. This image can be used by finanical institutions, insurance companies and debt relief agencies to advertise their services, as well as for editorial offerings about lending, fiancial institutions, and the economy.

This is a flexible and adaptable image that offers easy cropping to square, vertical or horizontal formats with an abundant amount of copy space for headlines and text. It is both an impactful and memorable image and at the same time is a quick read even at Internet thumbnail sizes. Sharks and piggybanks, as well as the idea of being finanically "underwater" make the image one that transcends cultures and borders and can apply to a global audience.
