Insane what some wood filament and some paints can do. Weathering these tomorrow and then they can get installed in the bar! 😍

A little seed has been planted a few weeks ago and now we’re planning big upgrades for the tiki bar.

A great day at Efteling with dear friends. And don’t forget, the darkest storms always leads to the most beautiful rainbows. 🌈

For months I've been recreating the Nautilus Vulcania map. Going from a scan from the Maps of the Disney Parks book, a lot of 100 MP photos I've taken and hours in Photoshop and Illustrator I'm happy to share it with all of you! Enjoy! gallery.krisvandesande.be/vulcania

I wanted to show you the new logo @robyeodesign.com designed for my Kris From Belgium theme park photography. We wanted to combine the feeling an attraction marquee, yet still make it distinct and fitting for a photographer. And I'm really happy with it!

A very, very long shot. Does anyone has any photos from the old Visionarium CM uniforms in Disneyland Paris? All I have is this single photo from 1994.

It’s hard to focus on two platforms and share my content on both. But here’s me yesterday in Germany shooting a campaign image for a big campaign. Tomorrow we’re shooting another one in the Netherlands. And another one in Belgium Monday and Tuesday. It’s juggling but so much fun.

Having my photos on the cover of two park plans are some next-level goals. Both big productions, each with their own challenges.

Sometimes my job requires me to create something that isn’t built or opened yet. That’s when we have to get creative with light, 3D and a set. Also, whom do I talk to to get this added to my coastercount?

Kris From Belgium (Kris Van de Sande) @krisfrombelgium.be · 15/04/2025

We not only created the images, but also designed the graphics and created all possible deliverables, from web to Out of Home billboards. So if you're driving through the Netherlands keep your eyes peeled, you might see some familiar photos pass you by!

Today a brand new zone at Madurodam opens! Rivierenland is water playground where you can completely go wild, and our images had to reflect that. We created a key art and a series of lifestyle images of our models going wild.

I sold an international campaign with this iPad sketch done in notes on location. It’s shit but at least it’s my own instead of some harmonised slop. (And the client was completely onboard and had not a single note.)

Also extremely proud to see our #DanseMacabre key art on the new 2025 park plan at #Efteling!

If there’s something better than a low setting sun in #Efteling’s Fairy Tale Forest I don’t want to know it.

And then you find your work (and yourself) in a grocery story. Not the first time, but one of the coolest projects so far. 🥰

So today I saw parts of ◼️◼️◼️, ◼️◼️◼️◼️, a test of ◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️ and a lot of other interesting things. But that's all under NDA so here's me being happy at what I'm photographing. The rest will be revealed in a future magazine.

A quick walk testing my Leica M11 at the Antwerp Zoo. I adore this camera! 🥰 And these little meerkats enjoying the last bit of rays of sun for the day.

I love these microscale Disney Parks LEGO models. They spark so much joy, especially since I don’t have the place for the big castle sets.
