The Lifestyle and Science Event #5

Culinary: dining al fresco

Paré-Lacharme / PhotoCuisine / Sweet and Savoury

When the weather’s fine, mealtimes move outdoors. Impromptu picnics, lunches in the garden, large gatherings around the barbecue: eating outdoors becomes a convivial experience, driven by the pleasure of being together and savouring the moment. Dishes are generous, easy to share or to place in the centre of the table: mixed salads, grilled meats, roasted vegetables, bread, sauces and desserts designed for conviviality.

Outdoor cooking prioritises simplicity without compromising on flavour. Seasonal produce, bold cooking techniques, straightforward recipes and contrasting textures accompany open, relaxed meals, shaped by the light, the warmth and the desire to be outdoors.

Food photography captures these experiences through bright, natural scenes, where the gestures, ingredients and moments shared matter just as much as the dishes themselves.

Science: when images shed light on research

Society is questioning the limits and promises of science. How can we reconcile the accelerating pace of discovery with ethics and collective responsibility? Artificial intelligence, biotechnology and personalised medicine are reshaping our relationship with life, decision-making and prevention.

Scientific imagery is becoming a powerful tool for understanding, capable of giving form to the invisible and revealing the scales, materials and structures of the world, from the climate to global health.

See science in a new light: to understand, question and navigate the changes in the contemporary world.

Beauty: revealing rather than transforming

Beauty challenges the notion of transformation. How far should we go? Society favours a more natural aesthetic, centred on skin health, natural ageing and a sensible, personalised approach to skincare. Technological innovations support this evolution discreetly, serving authentic sensations: comfort, suppleness, visible skin texture and natural radiance.

The images showcase real faces, confident textures, and skin that breathes and tells the story of time rather than concealing it.

Explore a vision of contemporary beauty – sensitive and refined – that balances respect for life, science and visual realism.

Interior design: living better at home, sustainably

As summer 2026 approaches, interior design embodies a quest for meaning: living better at home starts with the choice of materials. Raw wood, stone, washed linen and veined marble shape serene, sustainable and timeless spaces. The décor becomes sensory, based on the interplay of textures, the balance of contrasts and a understated aesthetic, designed to last.

Interior photography showcases these authentic compositions, where materials form the link between functionality, comfort and quality of life.

Discover interiors that meet the expectations of a sustainable, peaceful and deeply human everyday life.

Gardening: working with the living world

As summer 2026 dawns, one question looms large: how can we live alongside living things without depleting them? The garden becomes an open-air laboratory, blending ecology, climate adaptation and the passing on of knowledge. Local plants, sustainable practices, natural cycles observed and respected: the landscape is evolving towards greater resilience and simplicity.

Garden photography reflects a renewed relationship with nature, attuned to the seasons, to balances and to the spontaneous forms of life.

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.
