Morphology
pornographer = pornography (semi-transparent) = pornograph + er
The agentive suffix -er is clear, but the bound stem pornograph- is only indirectly recognizable through pornography and is somewhat specialized.
Etymology
Pornographer comes from Greek roots porne meaning 'prostitute' and graph meaning 'to write', and the ending -er means 'a person who does something'. The same graph is in photograph ('light-writing'), so think of a pornographer as a person who 'writes' or makes sexual material, which explains the modern meaning.
