- My name is Cole Sprouse.
I'm being held captive at Vanity Fair right now.
Please send help.
I'll be going through my Instagram photos
chosen by the team behind the camera.
[smooth piano music]
Number one. [laughs]
This makes me looks like I'm good at pool, which I like.
It's part of the reason I chose it.
You see, I'm horrible at pool.
The caption, "Oh, free my nipple."
No nipple should ever be under lock and key.
Hope Instagram takes note of that.
[upbeat piano music]
Oh, yes!
This was Kendall Jenner for The Sunday Times Style.
I think this was Malibu,
we were on top of this gorgeous mountain
and there were some fruit in the trees.
And I said, "Kendall, please, could you reach for a fruit."
She said, "Of course."
[upbeat music]
This is my brother and I's first head shots.
This is what we would give to the casting directors
when we wanted them to hire us.
And you can tell, we were rockin' that bowl cuts.
Strong local Brooklyniser wearing the same outfit right now.
So, I would like to say
that I pioneered that fashion as a baby.
[upbeat piano music]
This is my cover with Sam Smith for the "Luomo Vogue."
I figured, I would drag him and his team
two and a half hours north and we could all roll around
in the dirt for a day.
[upbeat music]
I'm the mayonnaise in this,
'cause there's ketchup and mustard, but no mayonnaise,
and I'm a child.
This was filming a movie called
"The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things," by Asia Argento.
I smoked cigarettes as a child in it and I'm the mayonnaise.
[hip hop music]
Oh!
Man, this was probably final year at NYU.
This is my friend Ram.
We don't talk much anymore.
I don't know what head space you have to be in
to start doing this candidly,
but I was glad that my camera was ready.
[hip hop music]
I rolled around this ragtag group of roguish photographers.
I met another group of kids
who were doing some urban exploration,
which, for the unfamiliar,
is just a fancy world for trespassing.
[upbeat music]
Oh, this was with my Halloween costume.
I was Milo from "Atlantis."
I was very proud of my costume
because I spent a lot of time on it.
Hire me.
[funky music]
This was in Mexico City.
And this was at one of the public markets,
which is so colorful and beautiful,
and he was somber,
and there's something about that made me smile.
[funky music]
This was an adult shop with a very conveniently placed,
"lust drags you down to hell" billboard right behind it.
I kinda gotten lost in the idea that perhaps
two neighbors were at war with one another
and this was the way they were having
this passive-aggressive conversation.
Lust doesn't drag you down to hell.
[upbeat music]
This was shortly after college.
I done a Yosemite trip with my father.
My father likes to take credit for inspiring my photography.
This is him flexing his Instagram prowess.
[upbeat music]
This was, I think it's called The Freedom Tunnel.
We snuck in, but we were caught and released.
Thanks to some slick talking
and me looking plucky and naive,
which has gotten me further than one would think.
[upbeat piano music]
This was in Botswana.
"Traveler" magazine had sent me
to photograph an elephant sanctuary.
This was the first time I had been printed into a magazine.
Thanks to Conde Nast and thanks to "Traveler."
This series, to me, holds a very dear place in my heart
'cause this kinda launched the rest of
my young photographic career.
[upbeat music]
So this is a photo of my father, his sister, and his father.
My family's very small.
So this is like some of the only surviving photography
from my father's childhood.
[piano music]
Oh, yeah!
This is what I thought I would be doing
for the rest of my life.
This is dog photography.
It's an art. [smacks lips]
I like my dogs when they look as if
they're having a consistent existential crisis.
I don't know what it says about me,
I'm sure my therapist would have a field day with it.
[hip hop music]
Ah, so this is from a feature I shot
with a good photographic friend of mine
named Miriam Marlene.
And we've gone out close to Joshua Tree
with a bunch of different costumes and outfits
and just sort of snapped away.
[upbeat music]
They had both spotted a wild deer.
This guy was a trip for reasons I can't go into.
Anytime I see this photo it makes me smile.
[hip hop music]
[fingers drumming]
Same trip as that lion photo of me.
There were these columns that
apparently served no purpose,
which I had ascended with great grace and skill.
I almost wish it was a video
so that you could see the mount and the dismount
'cause it was probably the peak of my physical performance.
It's all been downhill from there.
[upbeat music]
This is me and couple of friends
who consider themselves amateur herbalist, as do I.
We were in search of sage, wild sage
and this is the back of my friend's head.
It's very close to me.
And we found our sage so goal was completed.
And we quickly burnt it in an effigy.
Now you know all about my secrets.
What happened during those days?
A magician never reveals his secrets
until there's two cameras in the room
and you're expected to
and then I guess it's fun.
I hope it was as informative for you as it was for me.
See ya guys later.
