That would be interesting. Might be similar to shots I've done with a very bright background behind the model where veiling flare starts to soften the image in a very pleasing way. I sometimes do that by positioning the model directly in front of a very large softbox and shoot right at the front of the softbox. By positioning a large reflector to one side, we light the model with a contrasty but soft source, and the background is blown out by 1-2/3 stops (usually). Would be worth trying your idea.
