One way to get better pictures is to take your photos in natural light!

In natural light photo is not clear rather than artificial light because artificial light is too much near and directly attack on the face that's reason which i think natural light is not good for the betterment of photo and photography also.

It depends entirely on what country you're in - the UK isn't know for it's tropical sun 
One of the biggest problems with taking a photo is actually lack of light rather than it being of a specific type. Even with digital cameras, you need quite a bit of light in order to take a decent photograph. To compensate (as I think Tarwami is saying) people poke a lamp ridiculously close to their mini and wonder why it's washed out yellow. Natural daylight is good but is hard to control which is why people normally resort to artificial sources.
One good scenario is two or more lamps at a sensible distance that are diffused through something (investigate "light tents"). The idea being that you want to illuminate the mini enough to remove shadows but not so much that you artificially alter the colours of the mini.

What I do is:
1. I take the photo in the hours with most light, near a window wich provides the main source of light.
2. Additional light on the sides to balance shades, not al least 50 cm.
3. The floor and background white. I use just a sheet of white paper as background, laid under the mini and going stick in something behind it, like a box.
4. I take the photos at some distance. Whit so many Mpx, you just crop the part you need.
5. Finally I sometimes correct the levels a little with some imaging program.

I am not photography expert but I know few things about light sources. Sun light it's withe light and white light its sum of all other color. Fluorescent light, LED light, and another energy-saving lights, have only few color so they imitate white light, so it's defrent kind of light. That's why picture look difrent in natural light and artificial light.
But old bulbs and they succesor halogen bulb emits light that have full color spectrum so it's very similar to white light, therefore is quite good for taking picture.

I live in the south of France. I tried several times to takes photos with natural light next to the window or outside but there "too much light". I mean, the colours were burnt on the photo.
So I have to take photos when the sun it less important
