Product Description

Scarborough Beach Framed Print — Aerial Photography, Perth WA

Scarborough from the air is a study in blue — the surf zone churning white over the sandbars, the mid-water glowing green, and the deep Indian Ocean holding its steady navy beyond. This aerial photograph captures Perth's beachfront capital with surfers threading through the frame, the whole scene alive under clean west-coast light.

That banding is what keeps bringing me back here. No other Perth beach layers its colours quite like this — the sandbanks push the water into clean horizontal stripes, and from above the whole thing reads almost like a designed composition rather than a coastline.

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 the surfers, wave texture and layered water colours razor sharp across every print size — crucially holding the tonal separation between each band rather than blending them into mush.

For anyone who checks the surf before the news

This piece belongs anywhere that loves the coast — living rooms, offices, apartments and surf households — bringing Scarborough's energy and colour indoors without the sand in the car.

For the locals who check this stretch every single morning, it's the home break immortalised. And it's the view you picture while you're stuck at a desk — now it can be the view at the desk.

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 surfed, swum and flown.

About The Location

What keeps pulling me back to Scarborough with the drone is the banding. No other Perth beach layers its blues quite like this — the surf zone churns white over the banks, then the water glows pale green, then it settles into serious navy, all in clean horizontal stripes.

I shot this sitting out beyond the break, looking back through those layers toward the beach with surfers scattered through the middle of them.

Holding the tonal separation between each band instead of letting them blend into mush is the whole technical job, and the 100MP Hasselblad on the Mavic 4 Pro keeps every rider and every colour honest. If you surf Perth, this is the view you picture while you are stuck at work. Now it can be the view at work.

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.
