Product Description

Duranbah Surfers Sunset Beach Art — Duranbah Beach, New South Wales

The softest frame of the evening at Duranbah Beach. A small clean wave running left to right, one surfer alone in the foreground foam, and a wash of pale peach and grey across the whole sky. Quieter and more muted than the rest of the set.

This is the last frame I took before packing up. The crowd had thinned out to almost nobody and the colour had gone soft and flat, which for once was exactly what the picture wanted.

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 — subtle tonal shifts in a pastel sky 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

This was the last frame before I brought the drone in. The lineup had emptied out to almost nobody, the swell had dropped off, and the sky had gone soft and flat.

Normally that is when you pack up. But the muted version of a place is worth having too — one small wave running left to right, one surfer sitting in the foam, and a wash of pale peach and grey over everything. It is the calmest picture in the whole set and it is the one I keep coming back to.

Shot on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro with the 100MP Hasselblad camera. A sky this soft is where cheaper sensors show their banding. This one holds the gradient clean all the way across, which is what lets it print large.

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.
