Look into getting a snoot for your flash. You can probably make with with some creativity.
Here is a DIY.

Remember to put the flash on manual mode and turn it down a lot. There will probably be lots of trial and error getting the power right.
You can also use a homemade snoot on a constant light like a desk lamp.
1 light source left of the subject and maybe slightly behind.
Finish-off the photo with some levels and burning in photoshop to clean up unwanted stuff form the background...unless you have a black backdrop.
Here is one of mine with stage lights providing a similar effect.
