Almost all Professional Photographers shoot RAW photos. The reason for this is it contains a lot more Data than a regular jpeg file you normally shoot on your phone or DSLR camera. Since a RAW file contains a lot more Data, you can take these files to image processing softwares like Adobe Lightroom and edit them to produce high quality images with better dynamic range and colors. You can adjust a ton of settings and create an image you want, without losing a lot of information. Regular Jpeg (.jpg) files can also be edited, but these files are not made for editing purposes. When you heavily edit a .jpg file, it will lose information and quality, introducing a lot of grain and artifacts in to the images. Basically, it destroys the quality of the photo often. So, if you plan to Edit your Photos, and want the best quality out of any camera - whether it be your smartphone or your high end DSLR / Mirrorless Camera, shoot raw images. Different manufactures have different RAW formats.
