Product Description

Scarborough Beach Canvas Print — Perth, Western Australia

Scarborough on a hot day is the whole of Perth in one frame: the beachfront towers, the grass, the pool, and several thousand people spread across the sand and through the shallows. This aerial photograph is a portrait of a city at play rather than an empty landscape.

Scarborough is Perth's beachfront capital. Since the foreshore redevelopment it has become the city's gathering place — the Scarborough Beach Pool, the skate park, the amphitheatre, and a strip of bars and restaurants including the Scarborough Beach Bar, The Sandbar and The Peach Pit that fill from lunchtime until well after the sun goes down over the Indian Ocean.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by Australian aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. Its 100MP Hasselblad camera keeps every swimmer, umbrella and surfboard legible, which means the print keeps offering new detail the longer you look at it — an unusual quality in wall art, and the reason people hang this one where they'll pass it daily.

Energy for the busy rooms

Because it's full of life rather than emptiness, this piece works brilliantly in living areas, kitchens, offices and cafes — rooms that already have activity in them and can carry a busy image without feeling cluttered.

For Perth locals it's instantly readable: the Sunday everyone was at Scarbs, permanently on the wall.

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

Scarborough on a hot day is the entire city of Perth compressed into one frame — the towers, the grass, the pool, and several thousand people spread across the sand and through the shallows.

Since the foreshore was redeveloped this has become the city's gathering place. The pool, the skate park, the amphitheatre and a whole strip of bars that fill from lunchtime until long after the sun drops into the Indian Ocean.

I deliberately shot the busy version rather than waiting for it to empty out. The 100MP Hasselblad on the Mavic 4 Pro keeps every swimmer, umbrella and board legible, so the print keeps giving up new details months after you hang it. This is a portrait of a city enjoying itself.

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.
