I suppose there would be ways to accomplish the photo with smoke and  
(multiple) mirrors, but assuming a BBC photographer's budget and what  
appears to be a straight-on shot into a mirror made with the camera's  
on-camera flash, I think it's safe to assume it was altered with  
software.  You can see the flare from the flash at the top of the  
frame and, as someone else pointed out, the orange glow of the  
sensor.  Also, unless expensive, perfectly flat mirrors were used,  
the image would degrade with each successively added mirror.
