Aerial Illusion: The Story Behind the Digitally Created ‘Sleeping Lady Mountain’ Photo

A photo depicting a mountain resembling a sleeping lady has been circulating on social media, with claims that it is an incredible photograph of ‘The Sleeping Lady’ Mountain in Alaska, purportedly taken from an aircraft. However, it is necessary to verify the accuracy of these claims.

Upon reviewing the archived version of the post, it becomes apparent that the claim made in it is false. The mountain in the photo, resembling a sleeping lady, is a digitally created version of Alaska’s Mount Susitna, also known as ‘The Sleeping Lady’ mountain. This digital rendition was crafted by a talented digital artist named Jean-Michel Bihorel.

A reverse image search revealed a similar photo on the social media service website ‘Behance.’ Within this platform, the image was shared as part of the ‘Winter Sleep’ album collection, created by digital artist Jean Michel Bihorel. Additionally, a video showcasing this digital representation of ‘The Sleeping Lady’ mountain was posted on Jean Michel Bihorel’s YouTube channel.

Further research using specific keywords led to the discovery of the same photo in Jean Michel Bihorel’s official portfolio. Within Bihorel’s portfolio, the image was featured within the ‘Winter Sleep’ album. The social media website ‘Art Station’ also credited the photo to Jean-Michel Bihorel, corroborating its origin.

Jean Michel Bihorel, renowned for his digital artwork, is known to have created this version of Alaska’s Mount Susitna, popularly referred to as ‘The Sleeping Lady’ mountain, within his ‘Winter Sleep’ album collection.

In response to an inquiry about the location of this image on his Facebook post, Jean Michel Bihorel clarified that it is a digital artwork and does not represent a real place.

To summarize, the photo circulating on social media, claiming to be an incredible aerial photograph of ‘The Sleeping Lady’ Mountain in Alaska, is, in fact, a digitally created image. It was skillfully crafted by digital artist Jean-Michel Bihorel and should not be mistaken for a genuine photograph taken from an aircraft.
