Like those Photoflex Litediscs?  Friend of mine used to call them
"elephant diaphragms".

You still see people toting around big rectangles of foamcore -- but
mostly on film or TV locations.  But then, if you're a well-regarded
enough still photographer the powers that be might assign you your very
own gaffer to run around with you toting a hunk of foamcore and being a
human reflector-stand as needed.  I've seen it.
