What are the basic knowledge or tips in photography lighting?

I'm not a photographer but I'm always interested in photography, mostly in studio photos. I used to take photos of my doll collection with my samsung cellfone cam, and I managed to make it look like a professional photo by retouching it on Photoshop. Last week, I just purchased my new digital cam, and I just notice that all of my shots looked so raw. I can't even retouch it on photoshop. Maybe because of the flash which seems so bright. Or maybe the lighting. I even made an improvised umbrella with a light on it but it didn't work. Can u give tips about this?

in general, flash is bad and should be avoided if possible. If you have to use flash get one with a bounce and swivel head and angle it towards the ceiling to bounce the light. With other light sources, the closer they are, the softer they will light the subject, and it will be more even. You can use one good light source and then some simple reflectors (the kind for your car window) to add light. Watch where your shadows are falling too. hope this helps, I don't know too much because I'm just getting into lighting.
