1. Guidance
- Do you differentiate between experienced photographers, bloggers and knowledgeable amateurs?\t\u200b
No, all contributors are treated equally. That’s what makes the Photocuisine collection so rich and varied.
-Which images sell best?
Bright, colourful images of recipes are the most popular, featuring little everyday imperfections (a slightly dirty spoon, a few drops of olive oil, herbs that have fallen to the side of the plate, etc.)
For new ideas, please feel free to consult our trends document.
2. Photo feed and distribution
-In how many countries will my images be sold?
In around fifty countries worldwide via our partner Image Professionals, based in Germany
https://www.imageprofessionals.com/en/about-us \u200b
-Can I use the images I’ve submitted myself?
Yes, for your own communications (website, social media, portfolios). However, you may not resell the images submitted to Sucré Salé yourself, as this would make it difficult to manage your rights.
-Can the same image be sold more than once?
Yes, that is the very principle of a stock image library.
-Why do I need to provide details of my original clients?
This information is essential for managing your rights and sales. Furthermore, it enables us to submit your content to Sucré Salé’s licence compliance department, which is responsible for ensuring that licences are properly managed with regard to potential infringers.
-What are the technical requirements for files to be accepted?
Please see our technical specifications by clicking HERE
-Can I have a say in the sale of my images?\t\u200b
No, it would be unmanageable to seek authors’ permission for every sale.
3. Commercial terms
-How are prices set?
Prices are set according to the client’s specific requirements for a particular use, taking into account their sector, format, duration of use and territory of distribution.
-Is the royalty percentage the same for all photographers?
Yes, it is 40% for all photographers.
-How long do I have to wait before receiving my first sales statement?
On average, it takes a year before you receive your first sales statement. \u200b
-At what amount does a statement become payable?
A statement is issued once royalties reach €250.
4. Copyright and protection
What is the difference between DG and LD?
A royalty-free licence grants extensive usage rights, allowing you to use the image as many times as you wish. \u200b The licence terms for rights-managed images are restricted to a single, specific use. You cannot use the image for other projects without first purchasing additional licences. \u200b
-What is licence compliance? \u200b
Sucré Salé has a licence compliance department. Its role is to address unauthorised use by offenders who have not paid for a licence. The work of this department therefore enables authors to recover revenue that would otherwise be lost, whilst also protecting customers who pay their fees in the proper manner.
-Am I allowed to upload photos showing people?
Yes. If the person is recognisable, a signed authorisation is required. If the person is a public figure, no authorisation is required provided that they are depicted whilst carrying out their duties.
-Am I allowed to submit photos showing brands or objects that are part of society’s shared cultural heritage?
No, it is essential to submit images that do not contain any recognisable objects.
-Do you accept AI-generated images?
Yes, but you must state this when submitting the images.
