Kristian Liebrand (born March 3, 1973, in Rhede, Germany) is a photographer from Germany, who concentrates on nude art photography of women.

Liebrand has been featured in a number of photo magazines, Lifestyle magazines, professional journals and TV stations.

Background

Since 2010 Liebrand has received achievements in international photo contests.

His works have been published in a fine nude art book entitled more than nude – fine art photography (ISBN 3-000-38318-2) published in 2012 and more than nude - exclusive edition book published in 2014

Between 2008 and 2015 Liebrand lived and worked in Bocholt, Germany. 2016 he moved to Bochum where he built a new photo studio, called "Visible" along with many photo sets on a 360 square meters.

Between 2014 and 2016 he published the charity calendar, Mehr als eine Badewanne (more than a bathtube) aimed at fighting against the lack of water in Africa.

Between 2018 and 2020, Liebrand initiated the charity project "Mutspenden" to raise awareness for leukemia and encourage bone marrow donor registration. For this project, he photographed nude models at major tourist landmarks in Berlin (2018), Hamburg (2019), and New York City (2020). Both Liebrand and the models worked pro bono. The resulting works were exhibited and published in a photography book, which was available exclusively in exchange for a direct donation to the DKMS.

In September 2024, Liebrand organized a fine art photography exhibition and charity event at the historic Wuppertal Zoologischer Garten station in Germany. The event, which was part of the nationwide "Woche des bürgerschaftlichen Engagements" (Week of Civic Engagement), raised funds entirely dedicated to environmental protection and nature conservation projects.

In 2023 Liebrand sparked controversy by successfully suing a craft business for €10,000 (including legal costs) for copyright infringement for posting a copyrighted image on its Facebook business page without a license.

In 2025 Liebrand has been nominated as juror for the European Photography Awards and joins the international jury board.

At the end of 2025, Liebrand expanded his artistic portfolio from static photography to artistic nude and boudoir videography. Consequently, his 360-square-meter studio in Bochum was upgraded into a fully equipped film studio. His video projects in these fields are published under the domain aktvideografie.de.

2026 Liebrand published the book Der ganz normale Wahnsinn - Erlebnisse eines Aktfotografen (Naked Madness: Tales of a Nude Photographer; ISBN 978-3-384-83467-6).
