Product Description

Yanchep Lagoon Beach Art — Perth's Northern Coast, WA

Yanchep Lagoon on the kind of summer day the whole coast waits for. Umbrellas and a marquee on the sand, people spread along the beach and standing in the shallows, the sheltered lagoon glowing turquoise, and the reef line holding the Indian Ocean back beyond it.

Fifty minutes north of Perth, the reef curves in close to shore and forms a natural swimming pool. This is what it looks like when everyone turns up to use it: no surf on the sand, no shore break, just clear flat water and a crowd making the most of it.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by Perth-based aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. Its 100MP Hasselblad camera resolves individual swimmers, umbrellas and the reef structure under the water, so the print holds detail even at large sizes.

A beach with people in it

Beach scenes with people in them read differently to empty seascapes — they show a place being used rather than just a view of it, which is part of why this one lands well with families and anyone who spent summers on this coast.

It suits living rooms, kitchens, holiday homes and kids' rooms, and the bright, high-key palette makes it easy to place.

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

This is Yanchep doing exactly what it is famous for, on a day when half the northern suburbs turned up to enjoy it. Umbrellas, a marquee, kids in the shallows, and not a single wave breaking on the sand.

The reef out front takes all of it. You can see the line where the ocean gives up and the lagoon starts, and everything inside that line is flat, clear and about knee deep. It is the reason this beach works for families in a way most of the Perth coast does not.

Shot on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro with the 100MP Hasselblad camera. I like the frames with people in them best. They date the picture in a good way and give you something to find every time you look.

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.
