John,
I use 3 day light bulbs against plain white paper background. One bulb to the left, one to the right, one overhead(and angle lamp sitting on a box and pointing straight down). Use the aperture setting on your camera and set it to a very small aperture. Use the timer and use a small tripod. The shutter will only stay open for a fraction longer than normal because of the intensity of the light sources. Use photoshop afterwards to enhance the shot by correcting the balance. Daylight is good but not always available. Never use flash it is shit and bleeds all depth and colour out of a mini.
