Duncan,

If you are able to put a reflector ( A4 sheet of paper ) just out of frame, see attached pic, that should do the trick.

Most of my other efforts were cleaning the camera and removing dust specs. Flash will really highlight these and a lot of post processing time can be saved by a good clean and then an occasional blow with a lens puffer during the shoot. You would be amazed just how many tiny specs of dust can land during a shoot.

Each of these WILL show up on the final image.
