The Canvas Tells The Story | Scott Yates

How have the Arts impacted your life? 
Art has a huge impact on my life, whether it's a painting, music, or architecture. It has a major impact on my mood and emotion. The creativity in every piece has story to tell that speaks to me.

What inspired your first tattoo?
I played basketball in college and our team mascot was panther. After we won a basketball game one night, we all decided to go get a tattoo of a panther. My tattoo symbolizes brotherhood. It was a night I will never forget.

Tell us about your decision to cover your body with art?
Every single piece of art on my body tells a story about my life and what I believe in. My story will continue to grow and I will add to my body canvas.

What has been your experience been like modeling?
Modeling brings out a side of me that I never knew existed. Words can't describe this positive experience and it has been a roller coaster of emotions. Modeling for me has been a great experience, and when I'm on set, there's nothing but positivity around me and laughs. Only if you guys could see the bloopers.

How do you prepare for a photo shoot?
When preparing for a photo shoot I put myself on a strict diet, go hard in the gym everyday and I will go for a 5 mile run every evening. I already take fitness serious, but when I know I have to be in front of the camera I push myself even harder. I want to look my best, and bring my A game to the photo shoot.

Where would you like to see your modeling career in the next 5 years?
I would love to be the face of some big brands. Maybe the face of some high end apparel, or some some alcohol. I can definitely see my face on some billboards, or hosting a TV show. Who wouldn't want to see this face on the bottle of Ciroc, or Hennessy?
