Nice! You mentioned a bit back that you wouldn't use flash, and I agree. It would be distracting. How about raising the ambient light? When I need to "kick things up a bit" I use a LumeCube. They're very small, portable, very bright (1500 lumens at full power), which makes them easy to place. I'd bounce off the ceiling.

Thanks.  I took a look at the LumeCube.  It's interesting.   I saw that B&H sells them but I'll check around for prices. The lamp in that room is not good and so the light in the room in the evening is bad but even in the daytime with the vertical blinds opened it's not that great.  It would be nice to be able to increase the light in the room.   Where do you place yours, on the floor, a table or?
