My Bulgarian ICQ buddy Tatyana Mircheva is studying design in Birmingham, UK. Recently, she published this photograph on her blog. It's really good, and I assumed it was some professional advertising shot she'd lifted from the net. Turns out it's a self-portrait, shot at home with the aid of a bedroom lamp and a blanket from Ikea! Tatyana chose her gear, posed the shot and lit it, and her roomie snapped it. I'm impressed!
