I took some pictures of my photosetup, and uploaded them to brickshelf:

I use a poster to create a neutral backdrop. The photo of the flowershop
isn't photoshopped or anything, it's straight from the camera.

Lighting is the most important thing, the camera's flash can help to make
out the details. The downside to that is that flashes generate shadows so I
use a halogen lamp to reduce that.
Also see Ben 's setup for photographing the april fool's joke here:

My advise is to test a little with your setup and see what works best for
you (take a pic with and one without flash and see which looks best for
example).
Hope this helps.
