Mike Brodie (born in 1985), best known by his pseudonym ""Polaroid Kidd"" is a self-trained American photographer from Pensacola, Florida.

In 2003 Brodie left home at 18 to travel the rails across America. A friend gave him a camera and he found himself spending three years photographing the friends and companions he encountered with the Polaroid SX-70. Polaroid discontinued SX-70 film, so now he shoots on 35mm on a Nikon F3.

His photographs have been featured in exhibits in Milwaukee, at Get This! Gallery^[1] in Atlanta and in Los Angeles at M+B Gallery.^[2] His work was also selected to appear in the 2006 edition of the Paris International Photo Fair at the Louvre.^[3] In November 2007 he collaborated with Swoon and Chris Stain to mount an installation at Gallery LJ Beaubourg in Paris.^[4] He also has had collaborative shows with artist Monica Canilao.

His photographs largely depict what he refers to as "travel culture", train-hoppers, vagabonds, squatters and hobos.^[5]

Critic Vince Aletti of artsandantiques.net says of Brodie's work: "Even if you’re not intrigued by Brodie’s ragtag bohemian cohort—a band of outsiders with an unerring sense of post-punk style—the intimate size and warm, slightly faded color of his prints are seductive. His portraits.....have a tender incisiveness that is rare at any age." ^[6]
