Product Description

Shot straight down over the shorebreak, this aerial photograph strips the ocean back to its essentials: a clean band of sand, the white line of the break, and turquoise water deepening away from shore. A single surfer gives the whole frame its scale.

This is my own drone photography. The birdseye angle turns moving water into pattern, and the fine texture in the foam and the sand holds up at every print size.

As wall art, this is the quiet one. There is no landmark and no skyline, just colour and movement, which makes it easy to live with in bedrooms, bathrooms, hallways and any room that needs calm rather than a view.

Available as a fine art paper print or canvas with black, oak and white framing options across a full range of sizes. Every artwork in my collection comes from my own aerial photographs of the Australian coast I have personally flown.

About The Location

Some of my favourite frames have nothing in them. This one is straight down over the shorebreak with the camera pointed at the ground: a clean band of sand, the white line where the wave folds, and turquoise deepening as it runs away from shore. The only thing that gives it scale is a single surfer sitting in the middle of it. Shot from directly above, moving water stops being a seascape and becomes pattern, which is why I keep coming back to this angle.

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.
