The lighting in this photo is front continuous light. The light has a great reflection on inside of the egg shell and yolk. I suggested that the egg should be cracked and have the yolk left inside so I can get a close up. The light gives a great hard shadow in the back of the egg shells and great detail with the outside of the garlic.
This is a good example of front light.
Continuous light refers to the lighting equipment itself and means that the lights are always on compared to strobe lights, which flash at the time of exposure.
