Smile... you could study theory of composition and find ways to lead your eye around a still life by how you compose the items, foreground, background...
but I say start with copying a master, look and see how the folks like Reaper, MM, various firearm mags arrange there stuff in photos. I always enjoy the ones guns and ammo uses the new one with surefire is a beauty from that stand point. Nothing is straight on, always shot on an angle, lighting is important, early am, pm, overcast days, bouncing light off a panel inside like mentioned before.
I might start with trying a composition in the form of triangles to lead your eye around the pic with simple contrasting backgrounds to make the items pop.
Good luck!
Looks like your further than you think.
BTW, parden the hijack, how's that comp/vortex working for you?
