What I want the viewer to see in this image is how you own your own world and create your own destiny. You’re in full control of your own self and thoughts and I think that is an important thing to know.

The difference between RAW and JPEG is that a RAW file contains uncompressed and unprocessed image data captured by the sensors of a digital camera or scanner. A JPEG file is a lossy raster file format that compresses an image to make the file smaller. The RAW file is bigger than the JPEG. With RAW files, you need to factor in the time it will take to process and convert the file into a JPEG. This means storing two versions of the same image, which uses up more storage space, and leads to longer backups and transfers. It can also cause camera slowdown when shooting RAW, meaning your frame rate may fall. If I were to shoot an event i would use the JPEG files because although they’re smaller images, i can shoot more without waiting long for them to load and they could be sent to anybody without a problem.

This image was taken by Alan Kurdi in 2015. A mother and two kids were setting off on a boat but within minutes drowned due to a big wave crashing into them. This three year old boy was found on shore facing to his side as if he was only sleeping. He was actually dead.
