party photo

Bash camera shot

A party photo is a photograph taken at a social gathering—a birthday, wedding reception, holiday celebration, or night out.

The term often implies casual, candid shots rather than formal portraits: There are some embarrassing party photos from college I hope never surface.

Party photos frequently appear on social media, sometimes tagged or shared without the subject's consent.
