Product Description

Coral Bay Wall Art — Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia

Where else can you wade off the sand and be swimming over a World Heritage reef within a minute? At Coral Bay on WA's Ningaloo coast, the coral gardens begin metres from shore — and from the air that closeness becomes extraordinary: dark reef blooming beneath turquoise shallows, hard against the white curve of the beach.

The Ningaloo Reef is the largest fringing reef in Australia and one of the few places on earth where a reef this significant sits directly against the mainland. It's also where whale sharks gather each year between March and July — the most reliable place in the world to swim alongside the largest fish on the planet.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by Western Australian aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. The drone's 100MP Hasselblad camera resolves the reef structure straight through the clear water in remarkable detail — the print rewards close inspection at every size, with individual coral formations readable beneath the surface.

Tropical magic, brought south

Warm turquoise, living reef, and that sense of wilderness meeting comfort that defines Australia's Coral Coast. It suits living rooms, bedrooms and offices, and it stirs serious wanderlust in absolutely everyone who sees it.

It's a long drive north to get here. The World Heritage listing — and this frame — explain why people keep making it.

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

Coral Bay rearranges your expectations of a beach. On most coastlines the reef is a boat ride away; on the Ningaloo it starts where the sand ends — you can wade out and be over living coral in waist-deep water.

This is the largest fringing reef in Australia and one of the few places on earth where a reef this significant sits right against the mainland. Between March and July the whale sharks arrive, making it the most reliable place in the world to swim with the largest fish on the planet.

From the air that closeness is the whole story — coral gardens spreading dark and intricate under clear turquoise, hard against the white beach. The 100MP Hasselblad on the Mavic 4 Pro reads the reef structure straight through the surface. It is a long drive north. Worth every kilometre.

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.
