Not successive mirrors, adjoining mirrors at right angles. If you
look into the V thus formed the image is not reversed as it is with a
plane mirror. A friend has a bathroom medicine cabinet that has
mirrored doors hinged on their adjoining edges. The effect is quite
interesting.

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.

Camera pointed into two mirrors held at right angles to each
other, like a V? I can't quite picture whether or not that would
reverse the writing. Also, why assume that there was only one
camera?
