Product Description

South Cottesloe Beach Wall Art — Perth, Western Australia

South of the main beach the crowd thins out and Cottesloe turns residential — houses set back along the dune and a long, clean run of sand below them. This aerial photograph captures that quieter end: turquoise water grading out to blue, the shore break drawing its line, and the rooftops of Perth's most sought-after coastal strip along the top of the frame.

This is the locals' end of Cott. Same water, same sand, none of the marquee crowd — the stretch where people actually swim their morning laps and walk their dogs at sunset, a short walk from the Indiana building and the Marine Parade cafes but a world away from them in feel.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by Australian aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. Its 100MP Hasselblad camera holds the graduation from shallow green to deep blue and the fine detail in the shore break sharp at every print size — the two hardest things to keep clean when a frame is mostly water.

The piece that reads as home

For anyone who lives along this coast, South Cottesloe is home rather than destination, and that's why this piece lands differently to a postcard view. It suits living rooms, apartments and offices, and it sits naturally alongside the brighter, busier Cottesloe images as part of a considered coastal wall.

Choose oak for warmth against the sand tones, or black for a sharper contemporary finish.

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

Walk a few hundred metres south of the main Cottesloe beach and the crowd simply evaporates. Same water, same sand, but suddenly it is residential — houses set back along the dune, a long clean run of beach below them, and locals swimming laps rather than tourists taking photos.

This is the end I actually swim at. I flew it to take in that whole quieter stretch, with the shore break drawing its line and the rooftops of what is probably the most sought-after coastal strip in Perth running along the top of the frame.

When a frame is mostly water, everything rests on the graduation and the shorebreak detail, and the 100MP Hasselblad on the Mavic 4 Pro keeps both clean. For people who live along here, this one reads as home rather than as a destination.

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.
