November 18 is the day that aspiring male fitness model Tristan Edwards had his first shoot, with no less than one of the UK’s most prolific fitness lensman, Simon Barnes of Hotsnapz Photography. His inspiration to stay fit, healthy and transform his body came from a very, very familiar role model – Jaco De Bruyn. A male fitness model from South Africa who’s basically leading the pack in his nation…not to mention one of the earliest male fitness model we have featured here on MFM. As Tristan says, “in my opinion, he has the most impressive physique I have ever seen.”

Tristan’s goal right now is to be on the cover of big fitness magazines such as Fitness RX and Men’s Fitness and aims that as soon as he has built a name for himself, he would open up a training agency with his own clothing and supplementation line.

Based on what we’ve seen so far, Tristan is not only a dreamer, but he’s also a doer, one who has great things for him in the horizon. You can see more of him at Facebook, Twitter and BodySpace.
