Sharai Mustatia aka Princess Shredder

Sharai Mustatia aka Princess Shredder is a Métis, Cree, Romanian film photographer who was born into a life of trauma. It has been a long road traveled, through hard emotional work and the innate belief in one’s self that kept Sharai going and striving for a more peaceful existence.

“Film photography is a gift and a tool for recovering from complex post traumatic stress.”

Although Sharai has always been snapping film photos for as long as they can recall, it was a trip to New York City in 2012 where Sharai realized a talent and passion for street photography. What Sharai wasn't expecting was to find one of the greatest tools they had ever used before, for coping with complex post-traumatic stress. It was upon seeing some of their own photos when Sharai could sense their belonging and connectedness to this world. In each instance of being out of their comfort zone, it was film photography that got Sharai through the chaos.
