Description

The Cameraman is a theoretical entity presumed to be responsible for capturing most of the currently known images of the Backrooms. The mechanism by which this entity captures these photos is unknown, and its existence is difficult to directly prove. However, it is known that most of the Backrooms images cannot simply be attributed to being captured by Wanderers, as that would not explain how extremely hazardous levels or almost impossible-to-reach levels manage to have images taken of them in a clean manner. Another piece of evidence supporting the existence of this entity is the quality of the images for each level; most are not simply low-quality images taken from a smartphone; rather, they are usually high-quality and appear as if captured with a professional camera apparatus that a typical Wanderer would not have. If on the minuscule chance that a Wanderer did have camera equipment of this nature, it would be unreasonable to believe that the individual could manage to travel from level-to-level capturing these images whilst easily carrying the equipment. From this, the existence of The Cameraman is theorized. This entity, for unknown reasons and by unknown means, travels throughout the Backrooms capturing images of many levels. Many images in the database that do not have an explanation for how they were taken, such as those that do not have information regarding its photographer or the manner of its photography, may be attributed to The Cameraman. The physical characteristics of this entity remain unknown, as it is believed the entity either manages to avoid being seen or does not have a physical form altogether. The only physical evidence pertaining to the existence of the entity includes scraps of leftover film roll and undeveloped photographs rarely being found near where an image was captured in a level. This entity would serve as an explanation as to why high-quality images of levels often appear instantaneously after their initial writing into the database, even when the explorers that discovered said level did not have photography equipment with them.
