Product Description

Dunsborough Coastal Framed Canvas — Geographe Bay, Western Australia

An hour south of Bunbury and three from Perth, Dunsborough is where Western Australia goes to slow down — and the water is the reason. Because Geographe Bay faces north rather than west, the ocean here behaves more like a lake than a sea: calm, glass-clear and forgiving. This aerial photograph captures that signature stillness from above.

The town sits at the heart of everything the South West does well. Meelup Regional Park and its beaches are minutes east, Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse and Bunker Bay to the north-west, and the Margaret River wine region begins just south. In town, Blue Manna Bistro, Yarri and Occy's have made Dunsborough a genuine food destination in its own right.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by Australian aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. Its 100MP Hasselblad camera preserves this scene's soft gradients and fine surface detail — the transparency of the bay, the texture of the sand, the calm line of the shore — and gentle images like this are far harder to print convincingly than dramatic ones.

Holiday calm for an everyday room

The palette here is quiet and warm, which makes this piece exceptionally easy to live with in bedrooms, living areas, bathrooms and offices. It sits naturally in relaxed coastal and Hamptons-style interiors, and pairs effortlessly with rattan, linen and pale timber.

For the thousands of families who make the South West pilgrimage every summer, this is the moment the holiday actually begins — windows down, bay in sight, three hours of highway behind you.

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 Western Australian coastline he has personally visited and flown.

About The Location

Geographe Bay is a completely different ocean to the one Perth swims in. It faces north, so Dunsborough's water sits sheltered, calm and unbelievably clear — more lake than sea on the right day.

This was one of those days. I flew out over the bay in the still of the morning, before the boats were up, and the surface was so flat the sand patterns underneath read straight through it.

Softness is deceptively hard to print — gentle gradients fall apart far more easily than bold contrast — and the 100MP Hasselblad on the Mavic 4 Pro handles it. The run down from Perth is a ritual for half the city, and this frame is the exact moment the holiday starts: you come over the rise, the bay opens up, and everyone in the car goes quiet.

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.
