I like to use the sky texture as its really easy to control Alternatively you could mimic it by adding a 2nd lower brightness sun light, turn the angle to 180° and change the colour to blue. This recreates the ambient light effect of the sky in daylight pretty nicely when paired with a lower angle sun light

HDRIs are also a really quick and easy way to get realistic lighting, although it can be tricky to get a sense of scale

Strategically placed glossy and metallic materials will help reflect light around your scene to highlight certain details
