'''The Photographer''' is a character from [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]. He serves as a checkpoint in the game, where [[Rayman]] can come back to where he was last photographed should he lose a life. His face is never seen apart from a large eye, though he has blonde hair, and wears a chequered trench coat and blue shoes. In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', he was replaced by the [[Green Lum]] checkpoints. When [[Rayman]] has to take his picture with the Photographer, a poster in front of him makes him look like he is very muscular, holding a surfboard and a sea shell. In ''[[Rayman Junior]]'', he has to look like he is wearing a cloak like [[Mr Dark]]'s whilst holding letters and numbers, while the Photographer wears a brown coat instead of a green one with red dots on it.

~~Early screenshots and trailers for ''~~[[~~Rayman Origins~~]]~~'' showed the return of the Photographer~~. Like several other returning ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' characters, the Photographer was changed to a [[Teensy]] to better fit the style of the previous sequels. His skin is a darker blue than that of his brethren, and he wears a purple outfit with a feathered hat. ~~While in [[Rayman 1|~~the ~~original ''Rayman'']]~~ he ~~acted as~~ a ~~checkpoint within~~ the ~~levels by taking a picture of~~ the ~~hero,~~ the ~~Photographer in this game seems to act as an~~ end-of-level ~~point~~, ~~much like~~ an ~~[[exit sign]] or~~ a ~~[[Spiral Door]]~~. ~~He takes a picture~~ of ~~[[Rayman]], [[Globox]],~~ the [[~~Grand Minimus~~]] ~~and the~~ [[~~Teensie Wizard~~]] ~~(depending on how many~~ characters ~~are in play); they~~ positions in ~~which they stand indicate~~ who has collected the most [[Lum]]s. The new photoboard shows what appears to be a skinny, loincloth-clad creature wielding an axe, and a large woman in armour wielding a sword; the two most skilled players stand behind these pictures, while any remaining characters are left to peek out from behind the photoboard to get their picture taken. ~~More recent gameplay clips have shown that~~ the Photographer ~~seems to have been phased out entirely;~~ the ~~players simply line up behind the photoboard and have their picture taken by~~ an ~~unseen character~~.

The Photographer makes a brief appeareance in Rayman Origins during the opening sequence, when he takes a picture of Rayman, [[Globox]], and two teensies. Like several other returning ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' characters, the Photographer was changed to a [[Teensy]] to better fit the style of the previous sequels. His skin is a darker blue than that of his brethren, and he wears a purple outfit with a feathered hat. In earlier versions of the game, he was supposed to have a bigger role, and wait for the characters to come and pose on the cardboard at the end of the level, but in the final version the photographer is unseen (maybe as an omniscient being) and the photoboard takes a mayor role. The photoboard pops out after the heroes reach the end of the level and break the last [[electoon]]s [[cage]]. The characters take different positions in the photoboard, indicating who has collected the most [[Lum]]s, while the [[Magician]] takes the lums into a test tube. The new photoboard shows what appears to be a skinny, loincloth-clad creature wielding an axe , and a large woman in armour wielding a sword; the two most skilled players stand behind these pictures (respectively big woman the first place and the skinny creature the second place), while any remaining characters are left to peek out from behind the photoboard to get their picture taken. While in the original Rayman the Photographer's photoboard acted as a checkpoint within the levels, in this game it acts as an end-of-level point, much like an [[exit sign]] or a [[Spiral Door]].
