Product Description

Mahon Pool Coastal Prints — Maroubra, Sydney

Where Maroubra's headland meets the Pacific, Mahon Pool sits within a much wider drama — rock shelf, breaking swell and the deep blue of the open ocean stretching behind it. This aerial photograph places the beloved ocean pool in its full coastal setting: a small rectangle of calm holding out against everything the sea brings.

Pull back far enough and the pool becomes even more remarkable. Maroubra's northern headland is genuinely exposed coastline — swell arriving from deep water, spray hanging in the air — and somebody looked at it and decided to put a swimming pool there.

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 every layer of the scene — the pool, the swimmers, the textures of rock and turbulent water — with clarity that holds across all sizes, including large format.

Atmosphere over intimacy

This wider view is about the mood of Sydney's rugged eastern edge, anchored by one of its most loved swimming spots. It suits living rooms, offices, entryways and homes that lean natural and dramatic in their styling.

It's the lesson the whole Sydney coast teaches: the beauty here isn't gentle, and it's far better for it.

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 coastline he has personally visited and flown.

About The Location

For this frame I pulled the drone right back from Mahon Pool and let the coastline tell the bigger story. The wider you frame it, the more remarkable the pool becomes.

Maroubra's northern headland is properly rugged Sydney — dark rock shelf, swell hitting from deep water, spray hanging in the air — and in the middle of all that force sits one small, human rectangle of calm. Somebody looked at this coastline and decided to build a swimming pool on it.

The 100MP Hasselblad on the Mavic 4 Pro holds every layer: swimmers inside, whitewater outside, deep Pacific blue behind. It is the same lesson the whole Sydney coast taught me — the beauty here is not gentle, and it is better for 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.
