Product Description

Yanchep Lagoon Canvas Print — Perth's Northern Coast, WA

The wide view of Yanchep Lagoon with everything in it: swell breaking white along the outer reef, the sheltered lagoon inside, a long run of sand busy with people, the limestone rocks, and the coast road curving away behind the dune with cars along it.

Fifty minutes north of Perth, the reef bends in close to shore and forms a natural swimming pool. From this height you can see how it works: the ocean spends itself on the outer edge and what reaches the beach is calm, clear and shallow enough for kids.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by Perth-based aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. A frame with this much in it is a real test: surf texture, reef under water, sand, road and rooftops all in one exposure. The 100MP Hasselblad camera keeps every layer legible rather than letting the far half soften into haze.

The piece that shows the whole place

This is the one to choose if you want the beach to read as a real place rather than just a colour. It shows cars, buildings and a town behind the beach, which is what makes it recognisable to anyone who knows the coast.

It suits living rooms, kitchens, offices and hallways, and works well on a wide wall where the sweep of the coastline has room to run.

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

If I could only keep one Yanchep frame it would probably be this one, because it explains the place instead of just decorating it.

You can see the whole mechanism. The swell arrives, trips over the outer reef and turns to white water there rather than on the sand. What gets through is flat and clear. That is why families drive an hour for this beach and why the kids can swim in it. Behind the dune the coast road runs along with its cars, the limestone sits in the foreground, and the town waits up on the ridge.

Shot on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro with the 100MP Hasselblad camera. There is a lot of information in this one, from surf texture up close to rooftops on the horizon, and it all had to stay readable at print size.

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.
