No, bounce flash wasn't an option. It was taken in an old warehouse/factory loft, and the ceilings were at least 16 feet, and dark wood to boot. I shot with my 135mm, so I was some distance from her, and I don't think with my flash, bounce would have provided enough light at that distance, with that ceiling. Since it was a candid shot, studio flashes and umbrellas (which I neither own nor know how to use) were not an option. Glad that you liked it, other than the lighting.
