Globe Staff Photo by Essdras M. Suarez

RAW is a site for amateur photographers; a place for you to showcase your images, enter contests, and get recognized for the wonderful work you do.

But it's also a place to learn -- the monthly critiques by Globe photographers are an example -- and to get inspired.

The photo above is an example of the latter. It certainly impressed the editors at Editor & Publisher magazine -- a trade journal for us journalist types. They named this photo by Globe staff photographer Essdras M. Suarez its Feature Photo of the Year. It, along with other winning photos, are in the magazine's November issue.

We're very happy for Essdras, who has won lots of awards in his career. If you want to see more of his work, visit his portfolio on the Globe's Photography site. And be inspired.

PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE WEEK

Lee Cullivan
Belmont

Lee's photography has followed the path of his life: From landscapes in his beloved Maine, to images of the urban landscape when he moved to Boston, to photos of his children. And even though technical skill is important to his work, his main goal is to have fun.
