The Photographer
The Photographer is a character from 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, 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.
A presumably different Photographer appears in Rayman Origins. While the identity of the original game's Photographer was left unclear, the Photographer in Origins is a Teensie. His skin is a darker blue than that of his brethren, and he wears a purple outfit with a feathered hat. While his counterpart in the original Rayman 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 Lums. 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.
