Product Description

Busselton Beach Sunset Print — Busselton, Western Australia

The sun sitting right on the water off Busselton, dropping into the bay with a long gold trail running back toward the sand. Cloud banks catch orange overhead, a few yachts sit at anchor to the left, and the whole frame goes quiet and warm.

Geographe Bay faces north, which is why the water goes so flat. On an evening like this it stops behaving like ocean altogether and turns into something closer to a lake with a sunset on it.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. Its 100MP Hasselblad camera resolves remarkable detail — the gradient from sun to horizon and the texture on the water stay clean and banding-free, even printed at large statement sizes.

Available as a fine art paper print or stretched canvas, with black, oak and white framing options across a full range of sizes.

About The Location

Geographe Bay faces north, tucked in behind Cape Naturaliste, and that is the whole reason Busselton looks like this in the evening. The swell never really gets in here, so the water just lies down.

I flew this one straight out over the bay with the sun already touching the horizon. The trail of gold running back toward the sand, the cloud bank going orange overhead, a couple of yachts sitting at anchor off to the left and not a single wave anywhere in the frame.

The 100MP Hasselblad on the Mavic 4 Pro handles the hardest part of a shot like this — holding a clean gradient from a blown-out sun all the way down to the dark water without it stepping or banding when you print it big.

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.
