Sand Castle Doomed By Huge Wave

Photo of a sand castle with a huge ocean wave bearing down on it in a metaphor for impending doom, impermanence, and coming disaster. With a veritable Tsunami about to hit the sand castle there can be no doubt that the end is near. This is an image that is perfect for advertising and promotional use by insurance companies, failure analysis firms, and risk assessment consultants. The image also has wide applications in editorial use as a danger and  catastrophe concept photo. 

Risk, Danger And Challenge

Risk, danger and challenge are concepts superbly illustrated by this picture of a large wave curling over above a sand castle. A castle is symbolic of a person's dreams and plans, so it is appropriate in an image that explores the negative possibilities that challenge the plans of an individual, a company or an industry. This sand castle photo was created with advertising and editorial uses in mind and can be cropped to any format with ample copy space for headlines and text.

Shooting Sand Castles And Waves

To shoot this disaster image of a wave about to hit a sand castle I first photographed waves in Hawaii. Then I photographed a sand castle in Koh Samui. I used Photoshop to combine the image into a concept photo about challenge, risk, and disaster. This is an image that can apply to businesses, individuals, industries, natural disasters and manmade problems as well.

Change And Humor

This is an image of change. As soon as that waves destroys the sand castle change will have happened in a big way. In this case the change has an element of humor brought in by the shear size of the wave about to hit the castle. Funny stuff!
