	In [[Rayman 1\|the original ''Rayman'']], ''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]'', ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' and ''[[French with Rayman]]'', the Photographer serves as a checkpoint. He takes a picture when [[Rayman]] stands behind the photoboard and smiles. In [[Rayman (Nintendo DSi)\|the Nintendo DSi-ware version]], the game will automatically take a real picture of the player as well, with the latest picture representing the specific save file.

	In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', the photoboard takes on a more significant role than the Photographer himself. It appears whenever the heroes break the last [[Electoon]] [[cage]] of a level; then they smile and pose for a picture. The photoboard is no longer a checkpoint, but an end-of-level point, much like an [[exit sign]] or a [[Spiral Door]]. [[Rayman Origins (early production)\|Earlier in the development of the game]], the Photographer was intended to appear and take the heroes' picture, but the developers chose to replace him with [[the Magician]] and his test tube (which he uses to collect and count [[Lum (UbiArt games)\|Lums]]). It is not clear who actually takes the photographs in the final game, but it may be that the photographer is still present but simply standing off-screen, perhaps serving as the camera of the game itself (much like the Lakitu Bros in ''Super Mario 64''). Despite the Photographer's absence from the final version of the game, artwork depicting him can still be seen on the official website.

	In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', the photoboard has spaces for two characters. The positions which the players take indicate who has collected the most [[Lum (UbiArt games)\|Lums]] in a level. The new photoboard shows a large armoured woman with a sword, and a skinny, loincloth-clad figure wielding an axe. The player with the most [[Lum (UbiArt games)\|Lums]] stands behind the picture of the woman, the player with the second-most [[Lum (UbiArt games)\|Lums]] stands behind the picture of the other figure, and the two players with the least [[Lum (UbiArt games)\|Lums]] are left to peek out from behind the photoboard to get their picture taken.

	'''The Photographer''', also known as the '''clown photographer''',<ref name="clownphotographer"></ref> is a character who appears in several games in the [[Rayman (series)\|''Rayman'' series]], most notably [[Rayman 1\|the original ''Rayman'']] and ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. Though his exact purpose varies from game to game, he can usually be found standing near a photoboard, waiting to photograph [[Rayman]] and his friends.

	==Appearance==		==Appearance==
	In [[Rayman 1\|the original ''Rayman'' game]], ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' and ''[[~~English~~ with Rayman]]'', the Photographer wears a chequered trench coat and blue shoes, and has a satchel slung over his shoulder. His face is never seen, but one of his eyes is visible through his long blonde hair. In ''[[Rayman ~~Junior~~]]'', the Photographer's appearance is slightly different: he wears a brown coat instead of a green and red chequered one.

In ''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]'', the Photographer's appearance is slightly different: he wears a brown coat instead of a green and red chequered one.

	In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', the Photographer's appearance changes significantly. His face is finally visible, and like several other returning characters, he has been changed to a [[Teensie]] to better fit the style of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3]]''. He is somewhat different from the other [[Teensie]]s, with a thinner body, slightly darker skin, large, cartoonish hands, and a purple outfit with a feathered hat. As in [[Rayman 1\|the original ''Rayman'' game]], he wears large blue shoes and has a prominent eye.		In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', the Photographer's appearance changes significantly.

	Through the games, the Photographer has a tendency to change the photoboards that he uses to take pictures of [[Rayman]]. In [[Rayman 1\|the original ''Rayman'']], the photoboard has a picture of a bodybuilder's body, standing on a beach and holding what appears to be a surfboard and a pair of swimming goggles. In ''[[Rayman ~~Junior~~]]'', the photoboard has a body wearing a blue graduation gown, holding colourful letters and numbers. In ''[[Rayman Designer]]'', it is the same, except holding a saw and a hammer. In ''[[~~English~~ with Rayman]]'', the photoboard has a picture of a star sparkled blue cloak (similar to that of [[Mr Dark]]) holding an ice cream cone and a hamburger.

	Through the games, the Photographer has a tendency to change the photoboards that he uses to take pictures of [[Rayman]]. In [[Rayman 1\|the original ''Rayman'']], the photoboard has a picture of a bodybuilder's body, standing on a beach and holding what appears to be a surfboard and a pair of swimming goggles. In ''[[Rayman Junior]]'', the photoboard has a body wearing a blue graduation gown, holding colourful letters and numbers. In ''[[Rayman Designer]]'', it is the same, except holding a saw and a hammer. In ''[[English with Rayman]]'', the photoboard has a picture of a star sparkled blue cloak holding an ice cream cone and a hamburger.

	In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', the photoboard has spaces for two characters. The positions which the players take indicate who has collected the most [[Lum (UbiArt games)\|Lums]] in a level. The new photoboard shows a large armoured woman with a sword, and a skinny, loincloth-clad figure wielding an axe.

	In [[Rayman 1\|the original ''Rayman'']], ''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]'', ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' and ''[[French with Rayman]]'', the Photographer serves as a checkpoint.

	In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', the photoboard takes on a more significant role than the Photographer himself. It appears whenever the heroes break the last [[Electoon]] [[cage]] of a level; then they smile and pose for a picture. The photoboard is no longer a checkpoint, but an end-of-level point, much like an [[exit sign]] or a [[Spiral Door]]. [[Rayman Origins (early production)\|Earlier in the development of the game]], the Photographer was intended to appear and take the heroes' picture, but the developers chose to replace him with [[the Magician]] and his test tube (which he uses to collect and count [[Lum (UbiArt games)\|Lums]]). It is not clear who actually takes the photographs in the final game, but it may be that the photographer is still present but simply standing off-screen, perhaps serving as the camera of the game itself (much like the Lakitu Bros in ''Super Mario 64''). Despite the Photographer's absence from the final version of the game, artwork depicting him can still be seen on the official website.

	In [[Rayman 1\|the original ''Rayman'' game]], ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' and ''[[~~English~~ with Rayman]]'', the Photographer wears a chequered trench coat and blue shoes, and has a satchel slung over his shoulder.

	In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', the Photographer's appearance changes significantly. His face is finally visible, and like several other returning characters, he has been changed to a [[Teensie]] to better fit the style of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and ''[[Rayman 3]]''. He is somewhat different from the other [[Teensie]]s, with a thinner body, slightly darker skin, large, cartoonish hands, and a purple outfit with a feathered hat.

It is not clear who actually takes the photographs in the final game, but it may be that the photographer is still present but simply standing off-screen, perhaps serving as the camera of the game itself (much like the Lakitu Bros in ''Super Mario 64''). Despite the Photographer's absence from the final version of the game, artwork depicting him can still be seen on the official website.		In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', the photoboard takes on a more significant role than the Photographer himself. It appears whenever the heroes break the last [[Electoon]] [[cage]] of a level; then they smile and pose for a picture.

	Through the games, the Photographer has a tendency to change the photoboards that he uses to take pictures of [[Rayman]]. In [[Rayman 1\|the original ''Rayman'']], the photoboard has a picture of a bodybuilder's body, standing on a beach and holding what appears to be a surfboard and a pair of swimming goggles. In ''[[Rayman Junior]]'', the photoboard has a body wearing a blue graduation gown, holding colourful letters and numbers. In ''[[Rayman Designer]]'', it is the same, except holding a saw and a hammer. In ''[[English with Rayman]]'', the photoboard has a picture of a star sparkled blue cloak holding an ice cream cone and a hamburger.

In ''[[English with Rayman]]'', the photoboard has a picture of a star sparkled blue cloak (similar to that of [[Mr Dark]]) holding an ice cream cone and a hamburger.

	In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', the photoboard has spaces for two characters. The positions which the players take indicate who has collected the most [[Lum (UbiArt games)\|Lums]] in a level. The new photoboard shows a large armoured woman with a sword, and a skinny, loincloth-clad figure wielding an axe. The player with the most [[Lum (UbiArt games)\|Lums]] stands behind the picture of the woman, the player with the second-most [[Lum (UbiArt games)\|Lums]] stands behind the picture of the other figure, and the two players with the least [[Lum (UbiArt games)\|Lums]] are left to peek out from behind the photoboard to get their picture taken.
