Aerial photography prints

Signed, limited-edition aerial and abstract prints by Dani Watson and Simon Ray. Salt lakes, river channels and fields of colour, seen from above.

Remove the horizon and the land turns into pattern. Dani Watson’s Lake Eyre aerial photography made her a 2026 Hasselblad Masters finalist. Simon Ray’s aerial work finds colour and repetition that stay hidden at ground level.

Buying guide

Choosing an aerial print

Aerial work reads as pattern first. Size decides how much of that pattern you take in from across the room, so start with the wall.

Size

Give the pattern room.

Most works in this edit are square, a shape that suits a wall above a sofa, bed or console. Each product page lists its sizes and prices. For a size you can’t see, ask the gallery.

Framing and sizing →

Framing

White, black or Tasmanian oak.

Every frame is finished with acid-free mounts and UV-protective glazing. Unframed prints fit standard frame sizes. Framed prints ship within Australia only.

Framing options →

Editions

Limited, signed and numbered.

Dani Watson’s editions here run from 9 to 15. Simon Ray’s are editions of 100. Every print is signed and numbered, and a sold-out edition is never reprinted.
