photogenicity
Natural camera appeal
Photogenicity is the quality of looking attractive or striking in photographs.
Some people seem naturally photogenic—the camera loves them—while others struggle to capture their best appearance in still images.
The term extends beyond people to places, objects, and moments that translate well to photography: The old lighthouse's photogenicity made it a favorite spot for Instagram influencers.
Fashion and entertainment industries prize photogenicity as a professional asset.
