Product Description

Ocean Waves Framed Wall Art — Scarborough Beach, Perth WA

Out past the flags at Scarborough, when the swell lines up, the ocean produces waves worth framing. This aerial photograph looks down on surfers riding clear ocean waves so transparent you can see the sand moving beneath the swell as it stands up and breaks.

That transparency is the thing. On an offshore morning at Scarborough the water out the back turns to glass, and from directly above you can watch the sandbank shifting under each wave as it forms — a view that simply doesn't exist from the beach or the water.

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 captures the scene with exceptional clarity — wave texture, whitewater trails and each individual surfer stay crisp from small framed prints through to large-format canvas.

Movement without noise

The rolling lines of swell draw the eye across the frame, while the clear blues and soft whitewater keep the overall feel light and calm. That combination works beautifully in living rooms, bedrooms, offices — any space that needs energy without chaos.

For surfers and Scarborough locals, it's the morning check, framed.

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 photography of beaches he has personally visited and flown.

About The Location

Scarborough is the beach I have probably photographed more than any other. When a clean swell meets an offshore morning, the water out the back turns to glass.

I had the drone directly over the lineup for this one, shooting straight down as the waves stood up over the sandbanks. What gets me every single time is the transparency — you can see the sand shifting under each wave as it breaks, which is a view you cannot get from the beach or from the water.

The 100MP Hasselblad camera on the Mavic 4 Pro holds all of it: the surfers, the whitewater trails, the texture inside the face of the wave. Scarborough on a day like this does not need any help from me — my job is just to be in the air when it happens.

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.
