Here's some photography tips.
Mega pixels: Mega pixel size is very important! If you don't know what the mega pixel size your camera, buy a new one. The more mega pixels the better resolution you get which equals more details. When you're making a high resolution photo's, the bigger they get. So don't think a higher resolution is always better!
Flash: Flash can be very complicated. If you can take a picture without flash it’s almost always better. Flash will give you bright spots reflected back on your Lego. How do I avoid this? Try to angle the object so that if it has a flat side it is not pointing directly at the camera.
Tripods: Simple tool, keeps your camera in one place will taking your picture. You can build one out if Lego if you think you really need it. Sometimes a stack of books will do. This will keep you camera from shaking and causing a blurry picture.
Camera Settings: One of the simplest things can also wreck you picture! What? Yep. Using the “Flower Option”, this changes you camera so that you can zoom and take pictures of objects up close (perfect taking pictures of Lego). However, using this option or the “Super Flower Option” (super zoom) may shut off you flash. This means the camera has to try to sense more light which takes longer which means if you will most likely move the camera during this time and your picture will be fuzzy.
Note: Most of this advice are from builders all across the internet.

White Balance. Most professionals use a technique called White Balance. It takes away all the distracting background so your audience can focus on the figure it self.
First, you need a lamp and (a) sheet(s) of white paper. Put the paper behind the creation. Change your camera settings to manual and micro.
Use this technique and your creation will be more focused then the background.
