    "body": "<p style=\"text-align: left\">Please feel free to contact Maud if you&rsquo;d like guidance on subject ideas: <a href=\"mailto:mstenegri@sucresale.fr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>mstenegri@sucresale.fr</u></a>.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">&nbsp;</p><p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>1. Guidance</strong> </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">&nbsp;</p><p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>- Do you differentiate between experienced photographers, bloggers and knowledgeable amateurs?</strong>\t\u200b </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">No, all contributors are treated equally. That&rsquo;s what makes the Photocuisine collection so rich and varied. </p><p style=\"text-align: left\"> <strong>-Which images sell best?</strong> </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">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.) </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">For new ideas, please feel free to consult our trends document. </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">&nbsp;</p><p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>2. Photo feed and distribution</strong> </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">&nbsp;</p><p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>-In how many countries will my images be sold?</strong> </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">In around fifty countries worldwide via our partner Image Professionals, based in Germany </p><p style=\"text-align: left\"><a href=\"https://www.imageprofessionals.com/en/about-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>https://www.imageprofessionals.com/en/about-us</u></a> \u200b </p><p style=\"text-align: left\"> <strong>-Can I use the images I&rsquo;ve submitted myself?</strong> </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Yes, for your own communications (website, social media, portfolios). However, you may not resell the images submitted to Sucr&eacute; Sal&eacute; yourself, as this would make it difficult to manage your rights. </p><p style=\"text-align: left\"> <strong>-Can the same image be sold more than once?</strong> </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Yes, that is the very principle of a stock image library. </p><p style=\"text-align: left\"> <strong>-Why do I need to provide details of my original clients?</strong> </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">This information is essential for managing your rights and sales. Furthermore, it enables us to submit your content to Sucr&eacute; Sal&eacute;&rsquo;s licence compliance department, which is responsible for ensuring that licences are properly managed with regard to potential infringers. </p><p style=\"text-align: left\"> <strong>-What are the technical requirements for files to be accepted?</strong> </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Please see our technical specifications by <a href=\"https://newsroom.sucresale.fr/specifications-des-soumissions-dimages-pour-photocuisine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">clicking HERE</a></p><p style=\"text-align: left\"> <strong>-Can I have a say in the sale of my images?</strong>\t\u200b </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">No, it would be unmanageable to seek authors&rsquo; permission for every sale. </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">&nbsp;</p><p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>3. Commercial terms</strong> </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">&nbsp;</p><p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>-How are prices set?</strong> </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Prices are set according to the client&rsquo;s specific requirements for a particular use, taking into account their sector, format, duration of use and territory of distribution. </p><p style=\"text-align: left\"> <strong>-Is the royalty percentage the same for all photographers?</strong> </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Yes, it is 40% for all photographers. </p><p style=\"text-align: left\"> <strong>-How long do I have to wait before receiving my first sales statement?</strong> </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">On average, it takes a year before you receive your first sales statement. \u200b </p><p style=\"text-align: left\"> <strong>-At what amount does a statement become payable?</strong> </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">A statement is issued once royalties reach &euro;250. </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">&nbsp;</p><p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>4. Copyright and protection</strong> </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">&nbsp;</p><p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>What is the difference between DG and LD?</strong> </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">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 </p><p style=\"text-align: left\"> <strong>-What is licence compliance?</strong> \u200b </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Sucr&eacute; Sal&eacute; 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. </p><p style=\"text-align: left\"> <strong>-Am I allowed to upload photos showing people?</strong> </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">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. </p><p style=\"text-align: left\"> <strong>-Am I allowed to submit photos showing brands or objects that are part of society&rsquo;s shared cultural heritage?</strong> </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">No, it is essential to submit images that do not contain any recognisable objects. </p><p style=\"text-align: left\"> <strong>-Do you accept AI-generated images?</strong> </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Yes, but you must state this when submitting the images. </p><div class=\"release-content-contact\" id=\"contact-dab12b0d-64a4-466a-8887-77b92c333332\">\n    \n    <div class=\"release-content-contact__details\">\n        <strong class=\"release-content-contact__name\">Maud Stenegri</strong>\n        <em class=\"release-content-contact__description\">Photographers and Art Manager, Sucr&eacute; Sal&eacute;</em>\n        <ul class=\"release-content-contact__details-list\"><li class=\"release-content-contact__details-list-item\"><a href=\"mailto:mstenegri@sucresale.fr\"  class=\"release-content-contact__details-list-item-link\" title=\"mstenegri@sucresale.fr\"><svg class=\"icon icon-paper-plane release-content-contact__details-list-item-icon\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#icon-paper-plane\"></use>\n            </svg>mstenegri@sucresale.fr</a></li>\n<li class=\"release-content-contact__details-list-item\"><a href=\"tel:01 46 56 39 55\"  class=\"release-content-contact__details-list-item-link\" title=\"01 46 56 39 55\"><svg class=\"icon icon-phone release-content-contact__details-list-item-icon\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#icon-phone\"></use>\n            </svg>01 46 56 39 55</a></li>\n<li class=\"release-content-contact__details-list-item\"><a href=\"http://photocuisine.fr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"release-content-contact__details-list-item-link\" title=\"photocuisine.fr\"><svg class=\"icon icon-browser release-content-contact__details-list-item-icon\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#icon-browser\"></use>\n            </svg>photocuisine.fr</a></li></ul>\n    </div>\n</div><p>&nbsp;</p>",
