i have just one question. When is better to use flash and when reflector? Thanks

I find that it is easier to use a reflector outdoors when you want to add a particular mood, for example a Gold reflector will provide a nice warm effect while a white reflector is a little softer and a silver reflector is a little harsher

You can achieve similar results with a flash, thou.

I use a flash when I have to work fast (not enough time to set up a reflector), when there is not enough available light, if I do not have an assistant, or; if I want to create effects with shadows.
