Inside, diffused light can be obtained either by using photographic equipment such as reflective umbrellas, diffusion gels and cloths, or the light can be bounced off something reflective. Pointing a bright, direct light toward a white ceiling will bounce off a soft, diffused light, which is more flattering to the face.
A white poster board makes a good reflector for about a buck. Mirrors reflect too much and don’t diffuse the light much at all. Sometimes this can be used to good effect but generally, reflecting your light off a mirror won’t give you what you need.
