Product Description

Bondi Icebergs Pool Framed Print — Sydney, NSW

The Icebergs pool shot from directly overhead — lane markings running the full length of it, the rock shelf below, and whitewater breaking straight over the far wall. From this angle you finally understand it: a rectangle of still turquoise sitting inside the surf.

Founded in 1929 by a group of local lifesavers who wanted somewhere to keep swimming through winter, Bondi Icebergs is the most photographed swimming pool on earth — and the pool doesn't need a filter or a pump. It's cleaned by the ocean itself, every time a set clears the wall.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by Australian aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. A pure top-down frame is all geometry and no horizon, so the whole image depends on precision — the drone's 100MP Hasselblad camera keeps the lane markings crisp, the swimmers sharp and the whitewater full of structure.

A talking point, not a backdrop

The contrast of man-made order against ocean chaos makes this one of the strongest graphic images in the collection. It suits hallways, bar areas, offices and anywhere you actively want people to stop and look at the wall.

Almost nobody has seen Icebergs from this angle — which is exactly why it earns its place in a room full of familiar Sydney imagery.

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 places he has personally visited and flown.

About The Location

Icebergs might be the most photographed swimming pool on earth, but almost nobody has seen it from directly overhead. From up there it stops being a pool and becomes pure geometry — lane markings, rock shelf, and whitewater pouring straight over the far wall.

The club was started in 1929 by local lifesavers who wanted somewhere to keep swimming through winter. The pool has no filter and no pump — the ocean cleans it out every time a set clears the wall.

A top-down frame is all precision and no horizon, so there is nowhere to hide. The 100MP Hasselblad on the Mavic 4 Pro keeps the lane markings crisp, the swimmers sharp and the whitewater full of structure. Man-made order sitting inside ocean chaos — that is the whole photograph.

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.
