A lot of good advice here and a wonderful touch up.
Nothing beats studio lighting. However, for grab shots or candids, you are left with on-camera lighting. I mount a separate flash on the camera and put a diffuser on it. Here is the key: tilt the flash up. For close-ups, tilt it straight up. For further subjects, tilt it down gradually but no more than 45 degrees. At ten feet or so, remove the diffuser; you cannot see an effect.
I do not bounce off of ceilings. Too much loss and you can get casts with colored ceilings.
If you do not have a separate flash, try a hankerchif or white plastic in from of the built-in flash.
One correction tip[ the subject should have been 2-3 thre feet from background. thus the shadow too close to back ground. You can photo shop it out but leave separation betwewne subject and background.
