Product Description

Leighton Beach Canvas Art — North Fremantle, Perth WA

Between Fremantle's working port and Cottesloe's lawns, Leighton Beach does entirely its own thing — wide white sand, clear Indian Ocean water, kite surfers carving the sea breeze and dogs living their best lives on the northern stretch. This aerial photograph captures that easy, open character from above.

Leighton is Perth's most easygoing beach, and the geography explains it. Wedged between a working harbour and the western suburbs, it never got polished into either one — so it kept the dog beach, the kite surfers, the long shallow entry where the water glows pale green a long way out, and the distinctly Freo attitude that comes with all of it.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by Perth-based aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. The drone's 100MP Hasselblad camera records the beach in fine detail — the shallows glowing over sandbars, the shoreline running clean toward Fremantle — sharp at every print size.

Relaxed, sunlit and a little independent

This piece suits living rooms, apartments and offices, and it lands especially well with anyone who lives at the Fremantle end of the coast — where beach culture is less about being seen and more about just getting in the water.

Every stretch of Perth's coast has its own personality. Leighton's is: relax, you're basically in Freo.

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

Leighton is Perth's most easygoing beach, and the geography explains why. Wedged between a working port and polished Cottesloe, it never got turned into either one — so it kept the dog beach, the kite surfers and the Freo attitude.

On the afternoon I flew this, the sea breeze had the kite surfers out carving lines across the water while the dog beach end ran its usual joyful chaos.

From the air, the beach's best feature shows clearly: that broad shallow entry where the water glows pale green over the sandbars a long way out. The 100MP Hasselblad on the Mavic 4 Pro held the whole sunlit scene sharp. Every stretch of this coast has a personality. Leighton's is the most relaxed of the lot.

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.
