Product Description

Bondi Icebergs Canvas Wall Art — Sydney, New South Wales

No swimming pool on earth is photographed like Bondi Icebergs. Perched on the rocks at Bondi's southern end since 1929, the famous ocean pool takes waves over its wall daily — and from the air, the contrast of its clean lanes against the churning Pacific is pure visual drama.

The club's whole identity is that collision. Ordered lanes and lap swimmers on one side of the wall; the raw Pacific detonating against the other. The pool needs no filter and no pump — the ocean flushes it out with every set that clears the edge.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by Australian aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. Its 100MP Hasselblad camera keeps the lap swimmers, the lane ropes and the whitewater surging over the wall razor sharp at every print size — two worlds frozen in one exposure.

Instantly recognisable, endlessly stylish

This piece works in living rooms, offices, gyms, bars and coastal interiors, and speaks to anyone who has swum those lanes or watched them from the coastal walk. It's Sydney's most iconic swim, framed.

Of everything in the Sydney collection, this might be the most Sydney thing of all — swimmers who don't break stroke while the ocean tries to stop them.

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 photography of places he has personally visited and flown.

About The Location

Icebergs earns its fame the moment you see it from the air. The pool has clung to Bondi's southern rocks since 1929, and its whole identity is that collision — ordered lanes and lap swimmers on one side of the wall, the raw Pacific detonating against the other.

I hovered overhead waiting for a proper set, and when the whitewater finally poured across the pool's edge mid-lap, this was the frame.

The 100MP Hasselblad on the Mavic 4 Pro froze both worlds sharp: the swimmers who did not break stroke, and the ocean that tried to make them. Of everything I shot in Sydney, this might be the most Sydney thing of the lot.

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.
