Product Description

Serenity Island Fiji Sunset Art: Last Light on the Lagoon

The one warm piece in the Fiji collection. The sun has already gone at Serenity Island in Fiji and the whole sky has turned coral pink, and because the water inside the reef is dead flat it hands the colour straight back. The headland and its palms are a flat black silhouette. There is one boat left up on the sand.

Nothing here is turquoise. The blues that carry every other frame in this collection are gone completely, replaced by pink, apricot and grey, which is why this one is worth owning alongside them rather than instead of them.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. Its 100MP Hasselblad camera holds the gradient in a post-sunset sky without banding, which is where cheaper sensors fall apart, and it keeps the silhouetted palms as detail rather than a black shape.

Where it works

This is the one that changes a room's temperature. It warms up white walls, grey sofas and cool north-facing rooms, and it works especially well in a bedroom or a dining room where the light is low in the evening anyway.

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 photographs of places he has personally visited and flown.

About The Location

The sun had already gone when this was taken. That is usually the point where people pack up, and it is the ten minutes that actually pay: the light goes flat, the sky turns, and the colour spreads right across the frame instead of sitting in one hot spot.

Flat water is the whole trick. Inside the reef there was no chop at all, so the lagoon handed the sky straight back and the pink runs top to bottom. I left the boat on the sand rather than framing it out. It is the only thing in the picture with a hard edge.

Shot on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro with the 100MP Hasselblad camera. A post-sunset sky is where cheap sensors band badly. This one holds the gradient clean, and keeps the palms as detail instead of a black shape.

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.
