Product Description

Smiths Beach Artwork — Yallingup, Margaret River Region WA

Smiths Beach curves away beneath the headland just south of Yallingup, a long stretch of pale sand with the Indian Ocean breaking in clean lines across its full length. This aerial photograph takes in the green rise of the headland, the surf working along the bank, and the water shifting from white through turquoise to deep blue.

Surfers know this beach by reputation. Smiths delivers powerful sandy peaks along its length, and just offshore sits Supertubes — one of the most respected and unforgiving reef breaks in Western Australia. For everyone else it is simply one of the widest, cleanest, least-crowded beaches in the Margaret River region, with the Cape to Cape Track running along the clifftops above it.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by Australian aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. Three things have to hold at once here — the parallel wave lines, the texture of the coastal scrub, and the sand visible beneath the shallows — and the drone's 100MP Hasselblad camera keeps all of them crisp from small framed prints to large format.

Space, in a frame

What this piece brings to a room is openness. The long recede of the beach into the distance creates real depth, making a wall feel further away and a space feel larger — an effect that works particularly well in living rooms, hallways and smaller rooms that need lifting.

Green above, blue below and not a crowd in sight: this is the South West coast as the people who love it want it remembered.

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

Surfers hear Smiths Beach and think of one thing: Supertubes, sitting just off the end of it, one of the heaviest and most respected reef breaks in Western Australia. But the beach itself is the quieter story — long, wide, clean, and usually close to empty.

I flew this looking down the length of it from under the headland, with the swell arriving in parallel lines the whole way along the bank and the green rise of the coast holding the left of the frame.

Wave lines, scrub texture and sand under the shallows all in one exposure is a proper test, and the 100MP Hasselblad on the Mavic 4 Pro handles it. The Cape to Cape Track runs the clifftops above here. Do that walk once and you will understand why nobody who loves this coast wants it developed.

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.
