Product Description

Aerial Beach Surfing Canvas Art — Trigg Beach, Perth WA

Perth surf culture from the air: Trigg Beach's lineup in full swing, surfers spread across the peaks as Indian Ocean swell stacks and breaks beneath them. Shot from directly above the action, this canvas turns a morning at Perth's surfing heartland into wall art with genuine energy.

Trigg on a working swell has a rhythm you can watch for hours — sets arriving, the lineup shuffling, someone committing, the whitewater trail marking where they went. It's the beach where a large share of Perth learned to surf, and where the same faces turn up every morning of the year.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by Perth-based aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. Its 100MP Hasselblad camera keeps every surfer, board and whitewater trail razor sharp — detail that rewards close viewing even at the largest sizes, including panoramic.

Movement, without losing the calm

The riders animate the frame while all that blue settles it — which is why this piece works in living rooms, offices, teen rooms and surf-loving households across Perth and beyond, bringing life to a wall rather than noise.

Friends have found themselves in these Trigg frames before now. That is honestly my favourite thing that happens with this work.

Available as a fine art paper print or stretched canvas, with black, oak and white framing options across a full range of sizes. Every artwork in the Matthew Philip collection comes from his own aerial photographs of beaches he has personally surfed, swum and flown.

About The Location

Trigg on a working swell has a rhythm you could watch for hours — sets arriving, the lineup shuffling, someone committing, the whitewater trail marking where they went.

I have surfed and photographed this beach more than any other stretch of the Perth coast, and this frame came from a morning where everything clicked: clean conditions, a busy peak, and the drone directly overhead catching the whole choreography at once.

The 100MP Hasselblad on the Mavic 4 Pro keeps each rider pin sharp — friends have found themselves in my Trigg frames before, which is honestly my favourite thing that happens with these prints. This is Perth surfing documented from the best seat there is.

Frequently asked questions

All canvas prints on this site are made to order—I print each one specifically for you using museum-quality materials, which means a 3–4 week production and delivery window within Australia. This isn't a warehouse clearance; it's a custom-made product crafted to last decades. If you're ordering before a specific date, get in touch and I can often prioritize your print. Free shipping applies Australia-wide, and you'll receive tracking so you know exactly when your piece is arriving.

Paper and poster prints ship much faster—typically 1-2 business days to anywhere in the world, with free international shipping included. If you need your aerial photography print urgently, this is the best option. The paper is archival-grade (same fade-resistant, professional-quality stock I use in gallery prints), so despite the quicker turnaround, you're not compromising on longevity.

Canvas prints ship ready to hang with your choice of frame style at checkout: black, white, or natural oak. Each frame is specifically designed to complement the composition of the aerial photography and arrives attached and ready to display. If you prefer an unframed print, that's available too—giving you the flexibility to source custom framing locally or match existing décor. Paper prints come unframed but can be ordered with frame recommendations included in your package.

Canvas prints are stretched across 390gsm acid-free poly-cotton matte canvas—the same archival-quality material used by professional galleries and museums for fine art. The inks are fade-resistant and non-toxic, rated for 100+ years without noticeable color shift when kept out of direct sunlight. Paper prints come in three finishes: matte (museum-grade), semi-gloss (vibrant), or fine art paper, all archival-rated. As a Perth-based aerial photographer who has shot every image on this site, I've invested in materials that will outlast the trends—your print is an investment in something that lasts.

Canvas and paper prints are low-maintenance. Keep them away from prolonged direct sunlight (which fades any print over decades) and humidity extremes. If dust settles on canvas, a soft, dry, lint-free cloth does the job—no cleaners needed. Paper prints benefit from framing behind glass or acrylic, which provides UV protection and makes them virtually maintenance-free. Both formats are designed to age gracefully; many customers report their prints looking exactly as vibrant 10+ years later.

I stand behind every print. If your canvas or paper print arrives damaged, the colors aren't right, or anything doesn't meet your expectations, contact me immediately with photos. I'll remake it or refund you—no questions, no process. This isn't just a returns policy; it's a commitment to your satisfaction. Email matt@matthewphilip.com and we'll resolve it within 48 hours.
