Location
At home in the Lounge, balancing on the settee!Time
It was in the evening, the model was a friend of my wife's business partner. They owned a Hat Shop and we wanted some banner photos. This was one of the more expensive hats and with the help of a black background (home made and hung over a picture), the result was better than expected.Lighting

Only that you need to experiment and take as many photos as possible with different set ups and lighting options. Get the model to change position and look natural. Just fire away and review your photos. Sometimes it's the least expected photo set up that gets the final OK. Good luck!!
