The friend group member who is missing from every photo because they were always the one taking it.

The photoghost appears in the group's memories only as a reflection, a shadow, or a thumb. The album documents everyone's growth except theirs. Friends eventually schedule a photo just for the ghost, who finds it embarrassing and keeps it forever.

Etym. — photo + ghost — the member who haunts the album by being absent from it.
