Cowboy Kidd (c.b. Kidd) is the non de plume of a Brooklyn-based multi-media artist focusing on portrait, candid, and concert photography.

He admires many famous photographers such as Irving Penn, Chris Stein, Michael Lavine, Roberta Bayley and Mick Rock Music and film are second passions and contribute a consistent inspiration to their work.
