Product Description

Scarborough Surfers Wall Art — Perth, Western Australia

A clean wall of whitewater rolling through the lineup at Scarborough, with surfers scattered either side of it waiting for the next one. This aerial photograph catches the wave mid-break, the water pale green behind it and open blue beyond — the exact moment a set arrives and the lineup reshuffles.

Scarborough is where a large part of Perth learns to surf. It works on almost any swell, the beach breaks shift with the sandbanks, and on a clean morning the car park fills before the sun is properly up — boards on roofs, coffee in hand, everyone reading the water.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by Australian aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. Freezing moving water without losing the texture inside the foam is the entire job here — and it is where most files fail, turning whitewater into a flat white smear. The drone's 100MP Hasselblad camera keeps that structure alive even at the largest canvas sizes.

For anyone who has paddled out at dawn

This piece carries real energy without visual chaos — the wave gives it movement while all that blue keeps it calm. It suits living rooms, offices, bedrooms and surf households, and it makes an excellent gift for someone whose week is organised around the swell forecast.

Hang it somewhere you'll see it on a workday. It's the reminder that the ocean is doing this right now, whether you're there or not.

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 surfed, swum and flown.

About The Location

Scarborough is where a huge chunk of Perth learned to surf. On a clean morning the car park fills before the sun is properly up — boards on roofs, coffee in hand, everyone standing at the rail reading the water.

I had the drone out over the lineup for this one and waited for a set. The frame catches the wave mid-break, a clean wall of whitewater rolling through with surfers scattered either side of it, pale green behind and open blue beyond.

Freezing moving water without losing the texture inside the foam is the whole job, and it is exactly where most files fail — whitewater turns into a flat white smear. The 100MP Hasselblad on the Mavic 4 Pro keeps every thread of structure in it, even at the biggest canvas sizes.

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.
