The Topographica Process



Fine art meets fieldwork.

Each flight yields actionable insights in execution, progress, safety, and potential.



Aloft, attuned, artful.

Aerials reveal how builds take shape over time – connecting people, form and place.



The art of the deliverable.

We distill complex builds into data-rich, portfolio-ready updates that elevate brand value.

Topographica:
Who we are


Founded by Yogan Muller, Ph.D., Topographica expands from Santa Monica, delivering custom aerial imaging for architecture, construction, real estate, and public art.
Yogan’s drone journey started in 2022, when he passed his Part-107 and introduced a drone photography and photogrammetry class at the UCLA Design Media Arts Department.
In the winter 2024 quarter, the second iteration of his class earned him the 2024 UCLA Unit-18 Professional Developement Award, and was featured in the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability (IoES) Magazine.
He envisions drones as an extension of photography, a medium he’s been practicing professionnaly for more than 20 years.
