For this assignment I experimented by trying to manipulate natural lighting with my own artificial light or by using a reflector to re-direct the existing light. I really enjoyed using the reflector because of how versatile it was, I could diffuse any light overpowering my subject as long as it's not a ridicules amount of light. Even if the light overpowering my subject is too large or strong to diffuse, I can still use it to my advantage by re-directing the light towards the (what would be ) underexposed parts of the photo. The reflector is also very useful for adding a studio like feel in well lit area's outdoors.
I also experimented with a more controlled form of mixed lighting indoors wherever light was leaking in from the sun( by windows, doors, and in the atrium ). Because of the excess amount of outlets in our school I was not limited to using the reflector and brought a studio light into the mix. The studio lights were less versatile and fun to use (in my opinion) than the reflector, but it gave me results, I would never be able to reproduce with a reflector, and the angle of light unlike the reflector is not dependent on already existing light.
