Product Description

Trigg Beach Canvas Print — Perth, Western Australia

The coast road at Trigg runs right along the top of the limestone, and below it the reef turns the Indian Ocean into whitewater. This aerial photograph looks straight down on that edge: the road and car park along the top, rock ledges dropping into the water, and swell breaking heavily over the reef.

This is the wilder face of Perth's coast, not the postcard one. Trigg is the city's serious surf beach — the reef makes it powerful and occasionally unforgiving — and the coast road above it is one of the most driven stretches in Perth, past Canteen Trigg and Island Market and on toward Mettams Pool.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by Australian aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. The image lives on the collision of hard rock and moving water — two subjects that pull an exposure in opposite directions. The drone's 100MP Hasselblad camera holds both the limestone texture and the whitewater detail at every print size.

Energy, and instant recognition

There is real power in this frame, which makes it a strong choice for living rooms, offices and surf households — rooms that can take something with a bit of force in it rather than pure calm.

For anyone who drives that stretch of West Coast Drive regularly, it is instantly recognisable — and seen from above, considerably more dramatic than it looks through a windscreen.

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 coastline he has personally visited and flown.

About The Location

The coast road at Trigg runs right along the top of the limestone, and below it the reef turns the Indian Ocean into whitewater. Thousands of people drive that stretch every day without ever seeing what is happening ten metres below them.

So I flew straight down over the edge — road and car park along the top, rock ledges dropping away, swell breaking heavily over the reef. This is Perth's serious surf beach, and the reef is what makes it both good and occasionally unforgiving.

Hard rock and moving water pull an exposure in completely opposite directions, and holding both is the whole challenge. The 100MP Hasselblad on the Mavic 4 Pro keeps the limestone texture and the whitewater detail intact. From above, this stretch is far more dramatic than it ever looks through a windscreen.

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.
