Detecting unauthorised usages of images represents a considerable investment!

Detecting unauthorised usages of images represents a considerable investment!

There is sometimes a common misconception that rights holders automatically discover unauthorised uses and then send out an invoice. This is the story one regularly comes across online.

RightsControl advocates for fair remuneration for photographers

RightsControl advocates for fair remuneration for photographers

At Sucré Salé and within our RightsControl division, our mission is simple and has been aligned with our purpose since the agency was founded in 2000: to ensure that photographers are fairly remunerated when their works are used. Our aim is to protect copyright. We seek to regularise the use of works where no remuneration has been paid.

About Sucré Salé

Specializing in the curation of premium food photography, Sucré Salé produces and markets the work of nearly 350 professional photographers and contributors worldwide. The agency’s clientele includes food and mass retail brands, as well as magazines and specialist publishers.

In 2005, Sucré Salé expanded its offering to include bespoke photo and editorial content production. The launch of its in-house studio proved highly successful. Each year, between 700 and 750 exclusive images are commissioned by the agency’s clients, who are seeking proprietary, high-value content.

A major expansion of the agency’s food portfolio took place in 2014. By securing the exclusive representation of the StockFood collection—the world’s leading culinary image agency—Sucré Salé was able to offer publishers complementary content with a stronger focus on global cuisine.

A new milestone was reached in 2018, in line with a strategy of multi-specialization. Sucré Salé broadened its expertise to include image collections in the fields of interior design and lifestyle, beauty, science and environment, gardening, and travel. The growing demand from publishing clients for high value-added content ensured the success of this expansion. It also enabled the agency to continue its pursuit of premium, distinctive photo collections, unavailable in generalist stock libraries.

Finally, a fresh momentum propelled Sucré Salé in 2019 with the appointment of a new executive management team. The new duo, Tom Gastmans and Patrick Alloncle, building on the teams’ expertise, set out a clear ambition: to establish Sucré Salé as the benchmark for the production and distribution of specialized photo collections.

Sucré Salé was founded in 2000 at the initiative of Pierre Hussenot, together with other renowned food photographers.
