Step 1
Shadow detail.

This one is easy. Shoot your subject near a window on a bright day. You need direct sunlight.
Step 2
natural product lighting.

wee bit tricky as you need a reflector to bounce the sunlight back towards the object.

I use a white sheet of foam core or bristol board, angled to reflect the light towards the object.

This isn't exactly a tutorial, is it? Besides, it's neither new nor crafty. It's basics.
