Product Description

Yanchep Lagoon Framed Art — Perth's Northern Coast, WA

Fifty minutes north of Perth, the reef curves in close to shore here and creates a natural lagoon — calm and clear inside while the Indian Ocean breaks along its outer edge. This aerial photograph shows the whole arrangement in one frame: protected turquoise water, white sand, and the reef's dark arm wrapped around it.

Yanchep Lagoon is one of the better swimming spots on the Perth coast and still relatively unknown south of the river. Yanchep National Park sits just inland with its koalas and caves, so it is one of the few places you can snorkel a reef lagoon in the morning and walk through limestone caves in the afternoon.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by Perth-based aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. The 100MP Hasselblad camera resolves the reef structure through the lagoon's clear water while holding the surf breaking beyond it, two very different parts of the same frame, and keeps both sharp at every print size.

Sheltered water, easy to live with

Protected, calm water reads differently to open ocean on a wall. This piece suits bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms and nurseries, and brings a quieter feel than most of the surf and reef pieces in the collection.

For anyone in Perth's fast-growing far north, it is the local beach rendered properly.

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 visited and flown.

About The Location

Yanchep Lagoon is Perth's northern coast showing off its best trick — the reef bends in close to the beach and builds a natural swimming pool, calm and clear inside while the ocean does its work along the outer edge.

From the air the whole mechanism is visible in one frame: the dark reef arm, the protected turquoise inside it, and the surf breaking harmlessly beyond. Yanchep National Park is just inland with its koalas and limestone caves, so you can snorkel a lagoon in the morning and be underground by afternoon.

The 100MP Hasselblad on the Mavic 4 Pro read the reef structure straight through the lagoon's glassy water. Fifty minutes north of the city and the crowds thin right out. The locals up here know exactly what they have.

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.
