COMPLICATED LIGHT SETUP? Nope. This image uses just two flashes: one fired through a small piece of frosted Plexi to create the soft light that wraps around the eggs, the other bounced off a large white card above the spoon to give it that mirrored look.

He tossed the carton and stood the eggs in a baking dish filled with sand.
