He was inspired by Harry Callahan , Franco Fontana and Michael Kenna. Mirzaei’s photos are usually with a huge graphical approach and wise usage of negative space which have been usually considered as minimalist .

In 2006, he did a photo series called Humans, which have been exhibited in 2 solo shows in Iran and Turkey,[1] as well as in some group exhibitions in Australia and Italy. Michael Kenna has acclaimed this photo series by an essay : Mr. Mirzaei, with reserved sensibility, kindly provides us with an opportunity to quietly reflect and consider the reasons for our existence. It is a worthy subject to ponder, and this is a worthy group of photographs.[2]
