Morphology

unphotographed = photographed (transparent) = un + photograph + ed

The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the past-participial adjective 'photographed', yielding 'not photographed' in an obvious way.

Etymology

Unphotographed has un- meaning 'not', photo from an old Greek word meaning 'light', and the ending -ed which shows something is 'done'. So it literally means 'not made into a picture by light', and that is why unphotographed describes something 'not taken by a camera' or 'not in any photograph'.
