Product Description

Eagle Bay Dunsborough Art — Summer on Cape Naturaliste

The beach busy with umbrellas and swimmers, dense peppermint bush behind it with houses half hidden in the trees, and reef patches showing dark through clear turquoise water. This is Eagle Bay on a good day in the middle of summer — the version people who holiday down here actually remember.

Not the empty, austere version. The real one: towels claimed by nine, the water full of kids, someone's boat anchored off the point, and the whole bay humming the way it has every January for decades. Ten minutes from Dunsborough, a short run to Meelup Beach and Bunker Bay, with Eagle Bay Brewing Co and the Wise Wine cellar door waiting up the hill for lunch.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by Australian aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. Its 100MP Hasselblad camera keeps every umbrella, swimmer and reef patch sharp enough to explore on a large print — which is what makes this piece so rewarding to own. People find new details in it for years.

A summer you can hang on the wall

This is the Eagle Bay piece with warmth and life in it, rather than pure minimalism. It brings genuine joy into living rooms, kitchens, family rooms and holiday homes, and it's the obvious choice for anyone whose family has a history with this bay.

It also makes an outstanding gift. For the parents, grandparents or family who have been coming down to Eagle Bay for thirty years, this is their summer, photographed from an angle they have never seen — and the odds are genuinely decent that they are somewhere in the frame.

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

Plenty of photographers wait for the empty beach. I wanted the opposite — Eagle Bay on a proper summer day, umbrellas up, kids in the shallows, someone's boat anchored off the point, the whole bay humming.

That is the version people actually remember. Nobody's favourite memory of this place is of it being deserted; it is of the January their whole family was here. So I put the drone up mid-morning once the beach had properly filled, with the peppermint bush and the half-hidden houses behind it.

The 100MP Hasselblad camera keeps every one of those tiny figures sharp on a big print, which is why this one is such a good gift for a family with history down here. More than one person has bought this frame, hung it, and then found themselves in it.

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.
