Product Description

Dreamtime Beach curves away along the Tweed Coast of New South Wales, with turquoise water on one side and coastal bush on the other. The pale sand runs through the middle of the frame and carries the eye all the way to the horizon.

Dreamtime Beach sits right next door to Fingal Head beach, and the two sets hang well together.

The curve is what makes this piece. Three clean bands of colour, water, sand and bush, sit side by side without anything competing for attention, so it reads calmly from across a room.

I wanted all three bands to hold at once: the colour of the water, the brightness of the sand and the green of the bush. Water this clear sits close to the limit of what a camera can record without losing the sand, so I kept the exposure restrained. The print shows the beach the way it looked on the day, not a pushed postcard.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by Australian aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. The drone's 100MP Hasselblad camera records fine texture in the sand, water and bush, so the detail holds up right through to the largest size.

Where it hangs

The palette of turquoise, pale sand and deep green suits timber, linen and white walls. It works over a sofa, a bed or a dining table, and sits well alongside the other Tweed Coast pieces in the collection. It is a quiet piece. Sand, water and bush are all there is, which makes it an easy one to hang above a sofa or a bed.

Sizes and finishes

Choose a stretched canvas ready to hang, or a black, oak or white framed canvas, in nine sizes: A2 42x59cm, 90x60cm, 100x50cm, 80x80cm, 100x75cm, A0 84x119cm, 100x100cm, 150x75cm and 150x100cm. The rolled fine art paper print comes in 90x60cm, 100x75cm and 150x100cm. Printed to order and shipped free in Australia and the US. Every artwork in the Matthew Philip collection comes from his own aerial photographs of beaches he has personally visited and flown.

About The Location

Dreamtime Beach bends away in one long, even curve, and that curve is the whole photograph. Turquoise water runs down one side, pale sand through the middle and a dark edge of coastal bush along the other. Everything in the frame leads the eye down the shoreline and out toward the horizon.

I wanted all three bands to hold at once: the colour of the water, the brightness of the sand and the green of the bush. Water this clear sits close to the limit of what a camera can record without losing the sand, so I kept the exposure restrained. The print shows the beach the way it looked on the day, not a pushed postcard.

I fly every location myself on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. Its 100MP Hasselblad camera records the fine texture in the bush and the ripples in the shallows, which is what stops a wide beach looking flat on a large canvas. At 150cm wide you can still pick out individual patches of foliage on the right of the frame.

It is a quiet piece. Sand, water and bush are all there is, which makes it an easy one to hang above a sofa or a bed.

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.
