Nginx serving file error 403 forbidden

To give first some history to this problem; I'm setting up a django site on digitalocean first copied using root and the django folder had as the owner root and I've since worked on fixing this and now the site it up and running but one image still has the 403 forbidden error.

I'm looking for a command that can change the rights of this file.

-rwxr----- 1 sammy sammy 566719 Jul  1 14:52 developer.jpg

Your NGINX user is likely using the www-data or a different user, to verify the user being used by NGINX in a shell execute:

grep user /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

Then to change the file permissions:

chown www-data:www-data developer.jpg

Looking at your file permissions they also needed adjusted - see this answer for recommended perms.

(may require sudo, replace www-data with your NGINX user)
