What camera are you using Mick?
Probably the best solution for lighting is bouncing the flash. Don't use the onboard flash on most cameras, use a slave flash and bounce the flash off different things, that way the light can be diffused slightly and you can put the light where you want, with a little experimentation. If you are using a SLR you can try inverting the lens there are adapters out there which enable you to turn your lens around and use it for macro photography. Either that or buy a macro lens.
