Product Description

Eagle Bay Fine Art Print — Dunsborough, Western Australia

Eagle Bay is the sheltered stretch between Dunsborough and Meelup where Geographe Bay stays calm long after the open coast has turned over. This aerial photograph looks down the length of the beach, the water running from pale green in the shallows out to a deep, flat blue, with a scattering of swimmers small enough to give you the scale of the place.

That colour separation across the water is the entire image. It happens because the bay faces north on the protected side of Cape Naturaliste — the same reason the Wise Wine cellar door and Eagle Bay Brewing Co both built their terraces looking out over this water, and the reason families book the same shack here twelve months in advance.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by Australian aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. Its 100MP Hasselblad camera renders the shift from green shallows to deep offshore blue as a smooth continuous graduation rather than visible steps — the single hardest thing to get right in water photography, and the reason this print holds up from a small framed piece to a large statement canvas.

Bright without being busy

This is the Eagle Bay piece that lifts a room rather than quiets it. There is enough life in the frame — the swimmers, the colour bands, the sweep of the beach — to make it a genuine focal point, while the palette stays clean enough to sit in almost any interior. Exceptional in living rooms, entryways, bedrooms and holiday homes.

For the families who have been coming back to this bay every summer for years, it carries something a generic beach print never will: it is actually your beach, photographed from an angle you have never seen it from.

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

Eagle Bay sits between Dunsborough and Meelup on the sheltered side of Cape Naturaliste, and the payoff is colour. On a still morning the water separates into distinct bands — pale green over the sand, then a hard edge, then deep flat blue — and that separation is the whole reason I took this frame.

I flew down the length of the beach rather than straight out to sea, keeping a few swimmers in shot. Without people in it you lose all sense of scale; with them, you suddenly understand how much water you are looking at.

Getting those colour bands to print as a smooth graduation rather than ugly steps is genuinely the hardest part of shooting water, and it is where the Mavic 4 Pro's 100MP Hasselblad sensor pulls away from everything else I have flown. There are cellar doors and breweries up on the hill here with terraces built purely to look at this water. Having flown over it, I completely understand the decision.

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.
