Product Description

Secret Harbour Coastline Canvas Print, Rockingham WA

Aerial photography of the Secret Harbour coastline, where a long white beach runs into the distance beside deep blue ocean. Coastal dunes and low scrub line the shore on the left, and a few small figures on the sand show just how much space there is.

Secret Harbour sits on the southern edge of the City of Rockingham, facing the open Indian Ocean. The water here shifts from pale aqua in the shallows to a rich, deep blue further out, and this piece shows the whole gradient in one sweeping view.

Why it works in a room

The strong diagonal of the shoreline and the depth of colour make it a confident statement piece, especially at larger sizes. It suits living rooms, dining areas and offices, and it looks great above a sofa or a sideboard.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Shot on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro with a 100MP Hasselblad camera. The fine texture of the dunes and the sand holds up at every size, up to 150x100cm.

Available as a fine art paper print or stretched canvas, with black, oak and white framing options.

About The Location

This is the wide view of Secret Harbour, and it is the one that shows how much coastline there is here. The beach runs away in a long, gentle diagonal, with dunes and low scrub on one side and deep blue ocean on the other. When you stand on the sand it feels endless, and I wanted the photograph to feel the same way.

Colour was the thing that stood out to me most. Close to the shore the water is a soft, milky aqua, and it deepens step by step until it becomes a proper dark blue near the horizon. A few thin white lines mark where the waves reach the sand. There is very little else in the frame, which is why the colour carries so much of the picture.

Look closely and you will spot small figures dotted along the beach. I always try to leave a few people in the frame when I can, because they give a sense of scale and remind you that this is a real place where people walk, swim and spend time. On a stretch of coast this long and open, they look very small, and that is exactly the point.

I flew this with the Mavic 4 Pro. The 100MP Hasselblad camera keeps the texture of the dunes and the fine line of the shore crisp, so even a large canvas rewards a closer look. It is a confident, open piece that works well as the main artwork in a room, and it suits anyone who loves long empty beaches and big blue water. If you are drawn to the southern end of the Perth coast, this is the one that shows it best.

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.
