Product Description

Coogee Beach Canvas Wall Art — Sydney, New South Wales

Coogee does easy better than anywhere in Sydney's east — a wide, welcoming bay where gentle surf meets golden sand, sheltered by Wedding Cake Island offshore. This aerial photograph captures the beach on a classic Coogee day, swimmers scattered through the glowing shallows.

The name comes from the Aboriginal word koojah, meaning smelly place — a reference to the seaweed that used to wash up here. The reality today could not be further from it: this is one of the most relaxed, family-friendly beaches in the city, and the finish line of the country's best-known coastal walk.

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 every figure in the water sharp — the print is full of little scenes if you look closely, which is what makes it such a rewarding piece to live with.

Sunny without shouting

This piece brings relaxed coastal warmth to living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and offices, and carries the neighbourhood soul that makes Sydney's east adore this bay.

Bondi performs and Maroubra battles. Coogee just enjoys itself — which honestly made it one of my favourite flights in Sydney.

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 visited and flown.

About The Location

From the air you can see why Coogee swims so gently — Wedding Cake Island sits offshore like a bouncer, taking the worst of the swell before it reaches the bay. What is left rolls in soft, and the whole beach relaxes because of it.

The name comes from an Aboriginal word meaning smelly place, after the seaweed that used to wash up here. The reality today could not be further from it. I flew over on a bright, easy afternoon and just let the beach be exactly what it 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.
