Photography: Moody scenes and geometric abstraction from Mohammedreza Mirzaei

—
Date
18 June 2013

Photographer Mohammadreza Mirzaei has a keen eye for spontaneous imagery. The Iranian MFA student is currently studying at the University of Pennsylvania and creating the kind of dreamy nightscapes and geometrically-focused street photography that only a natural talent could conjure with their lens. When he’s not creating fine art photographs he busies himself with the promotion of other Iranian photographers (an undoubtedly under-represented demographic) through his monthly magazine, Dide, a publication that’s definitely going to have an influence over some of the photography we feature over the coming months.
