Product Description

Aerial photography of Scarborough Beach in Perth, Western Australia, shows a surfer lying on a board in clear turquoise shallows, with soft foam at the edges and other surfers further out.

One dark figure on pale water gives the piece a simple focal point and a lot of calm.

The water in this frame is almost transparent near the sand, and the single dark figure is all it needs. The result is a calm, spacious picture with one clear point of interest.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by Australian aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. The drone's 100MP Hasselblad camera records fine texture in the sand, water and foam, so the detail holds up right through to the largest size.

Where it hangs

The pale turquoise suits bedrooms, bathrooms and living rooms, and pairs well with white, sand and soft grey. It suits quiet rooms where you want a restful coastal picture with a small story in it.

Every artwork in the Matthew Philip collection comes from his own aerial photographs of beaches he has personally visited and flown.

About The Location

Aerial photography of Scarborough Beach, Perth, shows a surfer lying on a board in clear turquoise shallows, with the dark shape of the board standing out against pale water and a few more surfers further back.

The water in this frame is almost transparent near the sand, and the single dark figure is all it needs. The result is a calm, spacious picture with one clear point of interest.

I fly every location myself on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. Its 100MP Hasselblad camera records the fine detail in the water and sand, so the print stays sharp right through to the largest size. The ripples in the shallows stay fine and detailed at large sizes.

It suits quiet rooms where you want a restful coastal picture with a small story 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.
