Why go thru all that..meter the background..set the flash to that exposure and do a -1 to -2 Compensation and be done with it..with a reflector you will be moving around trying to find the correct angle, best light, etc..all that time you are moving around and adjusting you could be using your flash as fill and shooting.

Yes, I have tried it but most of the time I am getting shadows on the face. So thought using a reflector i will be able to balance both side of the face using flash.
