Product Description

Bunker Bay Framed Print — Dunsborough, Western Australia

A perfect crescent of white sand with green headland rising behind it and water clear enough to read the sandbars through. This aerial photograph takes in the full sweep of Bunker Bay and the coastal bush that closes it in on both sides — the shape that makes this one of the most photographed beaches in the Margaret River region.

Bunker Bay's crescent is a gift of geography. Sheltered by Cape Naturaliste to the west and wrapped in bush on both flanks, it holds calm, gin-clear water while the exposed coast beyond the cape takes the full force of the Indian Ocean. The walking trail around the headland passes remnants of prehistoric coral reef underfoot before reaching the lighthouse.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by Australian aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. Three very different textures have to hold in one frame here — the transparency of the shallows, the sand patterns beneath the surface, and the fine grain of the coastal scrub — and the drone's 100MP Hasselblad camera keeps every one of them sharp at large format.

The classic Bunker Bay view

If you want the shape of the bay rather than a detail or an abstract, this is the piece. The symmetry of the crescent makes it exceptionally easy to hang — it centres a wall naturally — and the palette of white, green and turquoise suits living rooms, bedrooms and holiday homes without any styling effort at all.

It carries particular weight for anyone with a connection to the Dunsborough end of the South West: the Christmases, the long weekends, the first swim of every trip.

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

Bunker Bay owes everything to its shape. Cape Naturaliste blocks the weather from the west, bush closes it in on both sides, and what is left is a crescent of white sand holding water that just refuses to get rough.

For this frame I went high enough to take in the whole curve, headland to headland, with the sandbars still readable through the shallows. It is the classic view of the bay and I wanted it done properly rather than cropped into a detail.

Three textures have to survive at once here — clear water, submerged sand patterns and coastal scrub — and that is a genuine test of a sensor. The 100MP Hasselblad on the Mavic 4 Pro holds all three. Walk the headland trail from here to the lighthouse and you are stepping over fossilised coral reef the whole way. This coastline is much older than it looks.

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.
