Walking A Fine Line

Walking a fine line would be another phrase that would apply for situations indicated or illustrated by this photo of a man carefully walking the length of a giant, upturned razor blade.

His shirt is blue which is a traditionally symbolic color for the business world. The background is a neutral blue sky with plenty of copy space. The image has been crafted to allow for vertical, horizontal and square uses. The model in this image has signed a model release.

Razors, Cutting Edges, And Precision

Razors make great symbolic images bringing to mind concepts such as cutting edge, precision and sharpness. A man walking a tightrope is someone who need to be precise, focused and skillful. When showing a man walking on the edge of a razor in the manner of someone walking a tightrope, the image becomes even a more powerful business metaphor. The risk becomes more pronounced, the need for precision greater, and the consequences of a lapse of focus or attention for more dire. Perhaps even more important, a visual that incorporates that which we have not seen before is much more likely to grab a viewer's attention compelling them to pay attention to the message indicated. Let's hope this acrobatic businessman succeeds in his risky undertaking.
