Coastal Wall Art

The water and the sand of the Australian shoreline by Nicolas Letoublon. There are no landmarks, no surf breaks in focus. Just the patterns that develop where ocean meets sand: from above, from the Sydney coast to Byron Bay. Colour-driven, abstract and shifting with each tide.

Ocean photography prints of the Australian coast

This collection regroups aerial photos that were taken from Sydney's shore and in Byron Bay. Rock pools at Bronte and Coogee. Surface of sand and foam patterns above Narrabeen and Tamarama. The color changing from navy to turquoise as the bottom shifts underneath the surface. These coastal wall art prints are without horizon line and without sky. The camera is pointed straight down and all that remains is the ocean itself.

Coastal wall art for modern interiors

Most ocean photography has elements like a sky, a horizon, a feeling for where the water ends. Shot directly from above, the frame is all water, sand or the geometry of a beach. The result is a different sort of coastal wall art: one that reads as abstract art first and photography second. It does wonders in rooms where a travel photo will come off as awkward. For the surf photography collection, see the surf photography collection.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is coastal wall art?

    Coastal wall art photography is set by the ocean, the coastline, or the patterns found between them. The Ocean Line Studio coastal collection is dedicated to aerial photographs of the Australian coastline where the frame holds just water, sand and light. No horizon, no sky. Just the coast from above.

  • What works best in coastal wall art for a home?

    The homes rooms and hallways are the most common places to take them out, but they can fit into any room that’s calm and thoughtfully made. The abstract quality of this aerial perspective means they sit in modern interiors, without reading as holiday photography or beach house decoration.

  • How are the coastal and surf collections different?

    While the surf collection includes some shots centered around a breaking wave or surfer, the coastal one is more about the shape and flow of sea water, sand and light rather than action or setting. For anything that is pure form and colour in read pure form, the coastal collection is the way to start.
