Studio Charuau, led by French photographer Fabien Charuau, is a Mumbai-based studio that focuses on architectural and interior photography. Fabien is known for capturing not just the design of spaces but also the emotions and stories they hold. The studio works across South Asia, taking on projects ranging from editorial photography to collaborations with architects and designers. Fabien’s photography is guided by his interest in exploring the connection between physical spaces and the feelings they evoke. He aims to create images that go beyond documenting structures, capturing the atmosphere and human experiences within them. His work reflects a thoughtful approach, blending technical skill with artistic expression.
Fabien Charuau has showcased his work in several solo exhibitions, blending photography and digital art. The Stumble Asleep (2010) at Matthieu Foss Gallery in Mumbai was praised for its honest portrayal of rural Indian men, while A Thousand Kisses Deep (2015) at Chatterjee & Lal explored the beauty within the flood of digital images. Other exhibitions, like Ways of the Road (2013) and Send Some Candids (2011), combined photography with new media to explore themes like voyeurism and societal norms. These opportunities reflect Fabien’s passion for storytelling and experimentation through images.
At Studio Charuau, every project is seen as an opportunity to highlight the unique character of a space. From homes and churches to modern art spaces, the studio’s portfolio includes collaborations with leading publications, architects, and design firms. Fabien works closely with clients to bring their vision to life while adding his own creative perspective. Fabien continues to explore new techniques and ideas, combining traditional photography with digital tools. For him, photography is about more than just capturing what is visible—it’s about sharing the feeling of being in a space and telling its story in a way that connects with people.
