Chris Hanley is a photographer who specialises in weddings and portraits.  He likes to approach his work differently to other photographers and has recently started to do "cherish the dress shoots" a backlash to the harsh trash the dress shoots that are now popular.  You can learn more about him and his work at Chris Hanley.

Here's his tip about bouncing light:

"Here's a great tip for bouncing light back onto your subjects face if you haven't got a reflector. Find a white or light coloured table. Pose your subject in  such a way that any ambient light bounce off the table top back onto your subjects face and eyes."
