The profile I read was on Aziz Ansari and his comedy career. It mostly focused on his career and how he setup his comedy sketches for a show. I felt that it told more about his career then him personally.

He was framed as a guy who puts a lot of time and effort into his comedy acts. It goes through how he sets up his shows. It makes Aziz come off as a better, down to earth, and not full of himself.

The writer got me to that conclusion by telling me how he goes through his process. In his interview he talks about how you can’t let the number of people in your audience get to your head.

The photos didn’t really help me come to that conclusion. They did make him seem more like a normal person in the one with him and his phone. However, they didn’t seem to make the story any better or relate to the writing at times.
