DirtRoad
One of the reasons I continue with FH is the thrill of the find. Scrolling through a site or turning an on-line page to find an artist, a model, an image that excites and stimulates my creative senses. It's even more intriguing when I sense there's a story to be told. That's exactly how I felt when I stumbled upon DirtRoad's Model Mayhem page back in 2013.
The images, were of DirtRoad in an old barn, naked, and holding an axe. I loved DirtRoad's look and the erotic and sinister feel to the shoot. I immediately reached out about a feature and asked who the photographer was so that I could get in touch.. DirtRoad replied quickly, and shared the images were self shots and welcomed a piece on the site.
Since that first piece, (To The Woodshed!) I've been fortunate to have featured DirtRoad's work over 15 times. I've featured both his self-shots, and his work with other photographers, most notably, close to ten stories featuring his collaborations with Gary Larson from Noplacia Photography. Although sadly Warren retired from modeling in 2017, he stepped back in front of the lens to shoot a snow series of self shots exclusively for FH. (Dormancy)

'Some shoots with other models can be rigid, all business, and there can be ego challenges. DirtRoad the opposite of those models. He is laid back about the process, won't turn down a beer when taking a break, and brings his own creative ideas to the shoot.'
Gary Larson
Gary and DirtRoad's work together has been one of my favorite artist and model creative collaborations to watch, and feature over the years of working on the site. They worked together close to a dozen times, most of which, Gary graciously shared with me to feature. I think I featured almost all of their shoots, but my fingers remained crossed Gary might stumble upon a shoot or images I haven't seen before.... Until then, or until DirtRoad makes a modeling return, there's an incredible array of images in the previous pieces on the site.
