Last name’s gotta be “Petova” or “Perova” as best I can make out.

No significant results for a Tatiana with either of those last names- there are suggestions for a “Tatiana Pe **tr** ova” but those results bring up an obviously different woman.

You just happened upon a pretty model who has had some professional shots done (at least one) but nonetheless hasn’t established even a minor career. That shot itself looks like it is just her own publicity shot rather than being a gig of its own.

The text reads “Taliana Petova” but a search for that name doesn’t bring up any other photos of her. A reverse image search of the photograph itself yields a bunch of Chinese websites. I did similar searches for “Tatiana” and “Perova” in case I read the name wrong to the same result.

You’re unlikely to find more of her.

Edit: Scooped.

If Googling ‘Tatiana Perova’, safe search OFF gives you one additional image, still in sand, but wearing even less.

Apparently.

Hmmm, ever since Google’s new [“Oh, Lawdy! I just _know_ you good gentleman must know want any dirty dirty pictures!” Policy](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=675285), I have been using Bing for all my searches- since all attempts to turn off Google Safe Search have sent me on an endless loop of Google’s helpful hints about how to _lock_ Safe Search when what I want is to turn it _off_. Somehow Google must trust you to manage your vices more than they trust me.

I didn’t get any additional pics of the same girl when I searched Bing with Safe Search turned off.

After the changes they’ve made I don’t even know how to Google with safe search off.

You can also try tineye or Google images to try to find other sources of the image, and see if there are similar images on the pages, or better identification. Doing that, this seems to be a pretty ubiquitous stock photo.
