64 || FITNESS MAGAZINE || DECEMBER 2015 come up with my new weight loss line. I wanted to create something for people that didn%u2019t have a lot of time on their hands. I%u2019ve always been aware of the fact that being in shape isn%u2019t just about having a nice body, but also your health, because once you are in shape, you feel better, emotionally and health-wise. It%u2019s a lifestyle. I%u2019ve been around that enviorement all my life. Plus for my work, I had to figure out a way to be in shape no matter what anyway. However, for me it was always more of a personal reward because I feel better in every way. I had more energy for my child and feel healthier so there is no reason to not make fitness a priority. MFM: You have modeled for so many international brands-Where/what was your favorite photo shoot to date and why?TD: My favorite to date was at Biscayne Beach with Justin Makala. The pictures were amazing; he is a great photographer, very easy going and very nice to work with. Also, the most recent photo shoot I did with Simon Soong which was inside a studio and late at night. He made it so easy to work with him, and I like photographers who goes with the flow and make you comfortable and the pictures still come out good. Because some photographers and shoots are very intense; you can be in the most beautiful place and not even get to enjoy it. I like when they just make you feel comfortable and you can enjoy your job.MFM: Tell us one behind the scenes story or tidbit that most people wouldn%u2019t know about modeling or advertising photo shoots? TD: They can be very tiring, and a lot of people don%u2019t realize that to get one cover you have to take 1,000 photos. People think oh to make that cover maybe you took ten photos, but a lot more work goes into taking a picture than they realize. There%u2019s a lot of things happening behind the scenes like the lighting and makeup and everything.
