Converted Oast House accommodation website

Each Manor Farm near Ash in Kent have up-cycled their old Oast House into a luxury rural holiday let.

In this case it was design from scratch with Oast House Media supplying the site photographs, logo, web name and web design keeping costs down and a single point of design for all future media requirements. The logo was created using the trade standard Adobe Illustrator vector design program. The images using our Canon SLR cameras and Adobe Photoshop. The website using WordPress and associated...

image copyright photograph ownership in kent

Who owns the image?

Here’s a typical photo scenario, “can you take a picture of us please”, we’ve all done it – on holiday, a wedding, out with friends or family.

But who owns the photo? Is it the person who took the photo?…or is...
