Here is the picture from Wikipedia which shows the infinite product. I am confused about how to derive this infinite product below. Infinite product picture

Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. – Community Jul 31 '22 at 18:10

According to the problem book "Problems in the Theory of Functions of a Complex Variable", L. Volkovysky, G. Lunts and L. Aramanovich, Problem 951, such a function, with simple zeros $x_1, x_2, x_0, x_3, x_4, x_5...$ has a Weierstrass product expansion, $$f(z)=f(0)e^{\frac{f'(0)}{f(0)}z}\prod_{k=0}^{\infty}(1-\frac{z}{x_k})e^{\frac{z}{x_k}}.$$ Honsetly, I do not know the proof. They skipped in the solution set very much. The rest of the problem is easier.
Here, $f(z)=\frac{\psi(z)}{\Gamma(z)}=\frac{\Gamma'(z)}{\Gamma^2(z)}$. We know the Laurent expansion: How to obtain the Laurent expansion of gamma function around $z=0$? Then, by limit, we can show that $f(0)=-1$ and $f'(0)=-2\gamma$.
