I can duplicate it by pointing a flash at the ceiling

It appears to be taken in a position where the painter is standing looking straight at the scene

Old, Amish style clothes, round glasses, brown vest, overalls, navy blazer
My grandpa and aunt would make good models
The most difficult thing to recreate will be the house in the background

File Formats

RAW files:
+ higher dynamic range, displays highlights and shadows better
+ records all the data from the sensor for the highest quality
+ your able to edit it exactly to your preferences through Lightroom
- big files (10-15 mb)

JPEG files:
+ smaller files
+ able to open them immediately without any other application
+ most common type of image file
- not a very high quality

Unlike a JPEG, a RAW file captures all of the data from the sensor. That means it will be a bigger file but it will also be a lot better quality. Since the data is all uncompressed all aspects of the photo can easily be edited by applications like Lightroom. Some things that should be considered when shooting in RAW is storage as well as editing capabilities. If you do not have a lot of open space or an external hard drive then RAW might not be for you. Another thing to consider is the accessibility of the file. You wont be able to open the RAW file straight out of the camera. You must edit it and save it as a JPEG before you can export the file. An aspiring photographer might learn to work with RAW files because there are so many extra things you are able to edit that you cant with a JPEG. Also in the photography business world some clients might ask for RAW files from a shoot to edit to their own tastes.

1. In the past I have used .psd .jpeg and raw files
2. Raw files are best for editing but they can be a pain to export. Jpeg is good for just everyday shooting and are easily accessible and viewed. Psd files are files with multiple layers and can only be edited in photoshop.
3. Jpeg and raw files can be created in camera by pulling different info from the sensor but psd files can only be created in photoshop.
