One of the biggest advantages of an external flash is that you can swivel and rotate the flash head to bounce light off walls, ceilings, or reflectors. This softens the light, fills shadows, and spreads the light over a much larger area.
Reflectors also work well to bounce light. If you can work with an assistant who can do this for you, it makes your task easier.
In the portrait of the girl in the red blouse, I used a reflector to bounce light back onto her face. The weather conditions included cumulous clouds in the sky. I took the photo when the sun just started to be obscured by one of the clouds.
A hotshoe flash can be used to bounce light off the ceiling or walls. Often it is best to place the flash at a distance from the camera, then point it at the subject.

Another reflector was used on the shadowed side of my subjects to bounce light across the faces of my subjects, creating the highlights on their dark skin. That's Preston Dickenson on my left, holding the reflector.
A piece of letter-sized cardboard wrapped in foil serves as an impromptu light deflector that can bounce light away from the jewelry piece when you aim it at reflective spots.
Unlike small diffusers these larger accessories aren't so reliant on white surfaces off which to bounce light and thus are of more value outdoors or in large banquet halls and so on.

I considered having Cameron attach a MultiDisc (Gold side reflecting) to a LiteDisc Holder and sandbagged LiteStand and have it bounce light from behind (camera left) for an additional rim effect, but instead I decided to stay with the current setup.
For this situation, I wanted to angle the LitePanel slightly downward to bounce light into the guitar. And the simplest way to do this involved using a Background Stand in conjunction with the Grip Swivel and GripJaw.

Optimum lighting conditions can be predicted but then the photographer must schedule their shoots accordingly. Some control of the light can be obtained through the use of reflectors to bounce light into shadow areas and diffusing material to soften ...
If your flashgun has a swivable head, it lets you bounce light off a white ceiling or wall to give a nice soft modeling light. For even more creative effects, use the flashgun off camera and connect it with a synch lead.
However, really good results can be obtained only with a flash unit that is separated from the camera, sufficiently far from the optical axis, or by using bounce flash, where the flash head is angled to bounce light off a wall, ceiling or reflector.
