No lah ... where got. I think if we light you properly (mama drama fairly high contrast top and side-lighting), it could be quite an interesting shot - even if we don't 'reveal' anything sensitive.
Anyways, here, this person who long ago ODed shooting models' portfolios is thinking of model shoot again! :sweat:

HAHAHAHAHA! You made me smile this twisted smile! :kiss: Adam!
Yup. I used to shoot the usual comps and the full books for agencies that specialized in Caucasian and Pan Asian models.

11 Tips For Outrunning The Cops
11. Pick your ride carefully
Assuming you have a choice, this tip is obvious but not at all straightforward. You have to choose a car that suits your circumstances. You may want to choose a fast, fancy sports car; but it may draw too much attention, or run out of fuel fast, or become uncontrollable from the slightest brush with a pursuing car.
You may then go for a heavy, sturdy vehicle; so that it handles well, can endure rugged terrain, and it withstands enough damage to still make it. But one of these may be too slow, or too big for you to maneuver through traffic, and it may even flip over too easily. So, its not a simple decision at all; get what you think is better for your driving style and your plan. Inconspicuous cars are a good choice in general.

10. Mind the gas
First and most evidently, fill her up! Several chases end a few minutes after theyve started just because the speedsters forgot to fill the tank before going for it. Second, be aware of how much mileage your car can get from a full tank; this may also influence your choice in cars, depending on how far you need to go. Remember that youll be going fast, so youll be spending more fuel.
If youre serious, you might even want to find a way to get more fuel tank space or extra mileage performance for the vehicle of your choice (requiring some pimping up as the teens call it these days).

9. Have a police scanner
This one is fairly obvious if you want to dramatically increase your chances for escape. Having a police scanner while youre driving means that you pretty much know what theyre planning to do to stop you, like laying spike strips and the like. It also gives you the advantage of knowing what they think youre up to. For instance, if they lose track of you, or think they know where youll be going, youll know right away and youll be able to trick them by going where they dont expect you to, leaving their cruisers in the dust.
If youre really sly, youd get a TV installed too. You could check out the news channel to see what the news copter is broadcasting, and get even more info from the reporters on what the police are planning (which would give you an immense advantage).

11 Tips For Outrunning The Cops
8. Don’t get out
This is an obvious one too, but many ‘fugitives’ have been shown to get desperate when their car crashes, so they get out of the car and start running scared. When this happens, you know that they’re done for. Unless you severely hindered your ride, don’t get out. Police officers will be chasing you from all around, their aggressive dogs taking point, and the news helicopter will keep its camera sights on you. You simply won’t be able to escape on foot.
There is a video of a guy who got out, then got into a house, and changed clothes, coming out calmly as if he were someone else. He almost made it, except the news helicopter crew got suspicious of a guy wearing the same shoes as the fugitive, and cried foul to the cops. Try at your own risk.

7. Dont park it
There might be situations where you might need to slow down in order to maneuver or dodge obstacles. But whatever you do, dont make a full stop. The police will obviously catch up, and box you in against the obstacle you were trying to avoid. By extension, dont shift to reverse unless you absolutely need to. You will need to make a full stop for starters, and obviously driving in reverse is harder. Plus, you will need to stop yet again to shift back to normal, and by that time there will be police cruisers all around you. Also, if you stop, citizens may attack you. (Especially if youve given them reasons to be angry at you, judging from the news broadcast.)

6. Stay on course
This is several tips in one, really. First, plan your route. Notice danger points, and alternate routes you can take. That way you wont be running in circles until you run out of gas. Youll know where to go, and where to detour if things get hairy.
Second, whatever you do, dont go off-road! Even if you have a vehicle suited for off-road, its risky. You may end up sunken in hidden curbs, or simply stuck in mud. Even if youre lucky to find a clear off-road area, youll inevitably slow down, and the cops will catch up eventually.
Also, you need to get familiarized with the turns youll be making and how your ride handles them. It sounds pretty dumb, but many car chases have ended from the driver overshooting the turn and running into a light pole he couldve easily avoided otherwise.
Finally, please dont go back to your neighborhood. You may think this is a good idea because youre familiar with the area, but its not. If its a small neighborhood, youll need to slow down to take turns, and there will be bigger chances for the police to seal off the area, leaving you without escape.

5. Slow down at intersections
This one sounds pretty contradictory, to say the least. Why would I want to slow down if Im being chased, for crying out loud! Actually, its very recommendable to slow down and look out when youre crossing intersections, whether they have stoplights or not.
The most horrible endings to police chases happen at intersections. Your car gets smashed by an 18-wheeler running across, or you hit a jeep making a turn, and you careen out of control into a row of cars stopped at a red light. Very gruesome, and you and many innocents can get hurt; and you dont want that. So, slow down, look both ways, and plan your moves accordingly. If you get a red light, you have to be extra careful.
This also applies to railroad crossings; those freight trains will literally annihilate you if you dont pay attention.
