Product Description

A dark rock outcrop meets golden sand and shallow green water at Dreamtime Beach on the Tweed Coast of New South Wales. Soft lines of white trace the edge of the water as it moves over the sand.

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

With no sky or horizon in the frame, the piece reads as a graphic study of texture and colour: rough rock, smooth sand and clear green water, all within one composition.

The picture works because of contrast. Dark, rough rock sits against smooth sand, and warm gold sits against cool green. Neither colour is strong on its own, but together they give the print a lot of depth without any sky or horizon to lean on.

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 warm gold and soft green pair well with oak, rattan and neutral linen. It suits an entry, a hallway or a bedroom wall, and works as a single statement piece or in a set with the other Dreamtime Beach prints. Hang it on its own, or pair it with the wider Dreamtime Beach frames.

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.

Available in landscape or portrait orientation. Choose the Orientation option to suit your wall. Portrait beach wall art works well in hallways, entryways and narrow wall spaces.

About The Location

This frame sits right on the edge of the beach, where a dark rock outcrop meets golden sand and shallow green water. The rocks look like a small island, and the water around them breaks into soft lines of white as it moves over the sand.

The picture works because of contrast. Dark, rough rock sits against smooth sand, and warm gold sits against cool green. Neither colour is strong on its own, but together they give the print a lot of depth without any sky or horizon to lean on.

I shot it on the DJI Mavic 4 Pro. The 100MP Hasselblad camera holds the texture across the rock surface and the faint ripples in the sand beneath the water, which is the detail that makes a close, graphic frame like this hold up at large sizes.

It suits people who like abstract coastal art with a real place behind it. Hang it on its own, or pair it with the wider Dreamtime Beach frames.

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.
