Product Description

Cottesloe Beach Canvas Wall Art — Perth, Western Australia

A century of Perth summers has played out on Cottesloe's sand, and the beach wears its history lightly — Norfolk pines, terraced lawns, and clear Indian Ocean water running through every blue it owns. This aerial photograph captures Cott from above on a bright, easy day, Perth's most loved beach at its best.

Everything about Cottesloe is ritual. The morning swim out to the pylon and back. Fish and chips on the grass. The sunset crowd on the terraces that turns up whether or not anyone organised it. The Indiana building on the foreshore, the Il Lido and Gibney end of Marine Parade, and every March, Sculpture by the Sea spread the length of the sand.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by Australian aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. Its 100MP Hasselblad camera records swimmers, sand and the graduated blues in exceptional detail — on a large print you can genuinely count the swimmers doing their laps out to the pylon.

Warmth, nostalgia and glorious colour

This piece brings all three into a home. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and offices, and works in almost any interior because the palette is so clean.

For West Australians near and far, it's the beach that means home. For everyone else, it's simply beautiful.

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

Cott never needs convincing. I flew over on one of those effortless Perth days — light wind, high sun, the water switched fully on — and the beach composed itself: swimmers strung through the shallows, the pylon standing in its own patch of blue, sand running clean in both directions.

Everything about this beach is ritual. The swim out to the pylon and back that half of Perth has done at least once. Fish and chips on the grass. The sunset crowd that turns up on the terraces without anyone organising it.

The 100MP Hasselblad on the Mavic 4 Pro picked up everything, right down to individual swimmers doing their laps. Some beaches I photograph as a visitor. Cottesloe I photograph as family.

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.
