English translation:cross lighting
Explanation:
As the name implies, cross-lighting involves two light sources illuminating the subject from opposite sides.
Although I think the "contra eje" (counter axis) part is probably redundant, since it is expressed in the cross lighting notion per se, the sample sentence could be translated something like this: "2-camera interviews, counter-axis cross-lighting."
