Morphology
photogenically = photogenic (semi-transparent) = photo + gen + ic + ly
Adding -ly to the adjective is regular, but the adjective 'photogenic' has a somewhat specialized meaning that is not fully predictable from its parts.
Etymology
Photogenically comes from the Greek parts photo- meaning 'light' and -genic meaning 'made' or 'producing', so it suggests something 'made by light', just like in photograph. So, to look photogenically is to look especially good in photos.
