    As a budding photo amateur, I don't know much, but I can tell you this:

    You need a good light source, an umbrella or reflector to diffuse and direct the light on your subject as needed or desired, and the right background. This can be as simple as a home depot work lamp with a 500 watt bulb, a $35 handheld reflector, and a bed sheet or curtain stapled against the wall and draped over a night stand. Plenty you can do short of a full-blown pro studio setup....

    There's some real good free websites about learning photography, you can google terms like "what is aperture" or "digital photo lighting". I've found it very valuable to understand things aperture, exposure, shutter speed, etc., - also settings you might want to play around with in your stills. Oh, and for stills of razors and so on - little tripod!
