Morphology

photographable = photograph (transparent) = photograph + able

Formed by the productive suffix '-able' added to 'photograph', so learners knowing 'photograph' and '-able' can infer 'able to be photographed' or 'looking good in photographs'.

Etymology

Photographable starts with photo- meaning 'light' and the part graph meaning 'to write or draw', so a photograph is like a picture 'written with light'. That's why photographable means 'able to be photographed' or 'looking good in photos'.
