Hello, my name is Bassam Sabbagh and I am a portrait and boudoir photographer in Montreal, Canada.
The most interesting thing about this image is that I captured it in May 2011 before I had any real interest in photography.
My wife and I along with some friends spent a weekend in Geneva, Switzerland, and took a drive to Chamonix, France, where we took the gondola 12,600 ft up to the observation deck at Mont Blanc.
When we got up there, around noon time, the sky was completely covered with clouds above us and below us and we couldn’t see anything. But soon after, the wind picked up and blew all the clouds away, revealing the beauty of the mountains all around us.
We were taking pictures of each other when I noticed a vista behind us with what seemed to be very interesting snow drift formations up the edge of a mountain with a wall of rocks in the foreground.
I had nothing but a Sony Cyber Shot camera and simply zoomed in and took multiple shots of this scene. A bit of cropping, color, and contrast correction in LR and Photoshop and voilà, here it is.
