"I decided to use the image of Omran to address the fact that the innocent and vulnerable are usually the most likely victims of war."
The image took Pegasus three days to complete. He told Mashablehe's currently speaking to charities that focus on children's aid in Syria.
"Once I have spoken with each and have made my decision, I intend [to release] the image as a limited edition print with all proceeds going to the chosen organization," he said.
