. . . If it's a subject, as in a person whose portrait you want to make, put your larger umbrella or, better, a flat reflector, close enough to lighten the shadows without interfering with the photo. If it's a building, forget it, you won't be able to reflect enough light on to it to make a difference. Consider multiple exposures and blending or HDR in post.
