Aziz Ansari for The Guardian

June 9, 2015 6:51 am

A few weeks ago I photographed Aziz Ansari and it was published yesterday on the cover of G2, The Guardian’s daily features supplement.

The article references Aziz’s new book on Modern Romance and I was restricted to a dark sound stage without the possibility of bringing props, so my solution had to be quick and simple. I decided that I’d ask him to draw a giant heart with the taillight I use on my nighttime bicycle rides.

Many thanks to Photo Editor Karin Andreasson
