I always wanted to be an artist as a child, but I couldn\u2019t draw to save my life. Photography was a medium that felt so natural to me and brought me immense joy, so when I first started working on\u00a0<em>Rawfiles<\/em>, I was frustrated because graphic design didn\u2019t feel as intuitive as photography. I had to learn how to use Adobe Suite (and am still learning\u2026), but the process taught me that struggling and learning can be so exciting. I still have so much to learn about graphic design, but getting to bring photography into my design work has made the process incredibly rewarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"769\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/F8D31B84-F1FA-4D6D-9C9D-3D98ABC0689F-2.jpg?resize=769%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-218855 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/F8D31B84-F1FA-4D6D-9C9D-3D98ABC0689F-2.jpg?resize=769%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 769w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/F8D31B84-F1FA-4D6D-9C9D-3D98ABC0689F-2.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/F8D31B84-F1FA-4D6D-9C9D-3D98ABC0689F-2.jpg?resize=768%2C1023&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/F8D31B84-F1FA-4D6D-9C9D-3D98ABC0689F-2.jpg?resize=1153%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1153w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/F8D31B84-F1FA-4D6D-9C9D-3D98ABC0689F-2.jpg?resize=9%2C12&amp;ssl=1 9w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/F8D31B84-F1FA-4D6D-9C9D-3D98ABC0689F-2.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 769px) 100vw, 769px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 769px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 769\/1024;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What words, ideas or emotions were running through your head?<\/strong><br>This project has been a rollercoaster of emotions.

Lucy is the best designer, and we have worked on\u00a0<em>Rawfiles<\/em>\u00a0together for the past three years. Her eye for color, font, and design blows me away every single time she makes a spread, and I\u2019m very lucky to be a witness to her work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Julia has a way with a film camera that I can\u2019t even understand. We recently did a studio shoot in Gastown, and she would pull Lucy and me to shoot in the most unconventional places. She shot in ways I would never even have thought to, and it\u2019s why I value her so much as an artist. It\u2019s so special to work with artists who understand your vision, support you, and push you when you need it. Lucy and Julia have been that for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:57px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-f56f613f wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:120px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized has-custom-border\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/shawna.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-218852 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/1024;border-top-left-radius:300px;border-top-right-radius:300px;border-bottom-left-radius:300px;border-bottom-right-radius:300px;aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover;width:110px;height:auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/shawna.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/shawna.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/shawna.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/shawna.jpg?resize=12%2C12&amp;ssl=1 12w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/shawna.jpg?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Shawna Tan <br><\/strong><em>Photographer from Malaysia, currently based in Vancouver.
