You can accomplish a lot without a fancy camera in the way of flash by
using an infrared remote flash trigger. I've got a pricey one I bought
for cave photography but I think there are cheaper ones available. You
can also buy a used flash from your local camera store. You may be able
to rig up something to block the camera's flash (though you still need
the slave to be able to see it - my pricey slave will see the bounce
from anywhere in the room, so in theory I could put a big card between
the flash and the subject and not have the subject illuminated by the
primary flash at all [or not directly, and as Todd mentioned, indirect
is good]).
